Add Tracking Details to Orders

Step 1: Verify Order Status
 

First, check that the order is marked as ReadyToShip (confirmed) in the system.

You can get order details using the GET API endpoint.

GET <https://api.getlynks.com/orders/{order_id}>

Step 2: Prepare Tracking Information
 

You'll need three key pieces of information:

1. Shipping carrier name (e.g., SwissPost, DPD)
2. Tracking number
3. Tracking URL

Step 3: Update Shipment Details

Send a PATCH request to update the shipment information:

(shipment id can be found in shipments object in order response)

PATCH <https://api.getlynks.com/v3/orders/{order_id}/shipments/{shipment_id}>

Request body example:

{
 "shipment_carrier_name": "your_shipment_carrier",
 "shipment_tracking_id": "your_tracking_number",
 "shipment_tracking_url": "tracking_url",
}

Below is the complete list of shipment carriers supported by our API and Galaxus. The mapping shows API identifier that should be used in API requests and its label in Galaxus.

{ "Swiss post":"swisspost", "DPD":"dpd", "DHL":"dhl", "Planzer":"planzer", "Quickpac":"quickpac", "Deutsche Post DHL": "dhl", "DHL (Paket)": "dhl", "DHL (Warenpost)": "dhl", "Deutsche Post": "dhl", "PostLogistics": "postlogistics", "DHL Freight": "dhlfreight", "Hermes": "hermes", "TNT": "tnt", "UPS": "ups", "GLS": "gls", "FedEx": "fedex", "DACHSER": "dachser", "trans-o-flex": "transoflex", "Gebrüder Weiss": "gebruederweiss", "Galliker Transport": "galliker", "Schöni Transport": "schoeni", "QUICKPAC": "quickpac", "Austrian Post": "austria-post", "DSV": "dsv", "DB Schenker": "schenker", "Sidler Transport": "sidler", "Noerpel": "noerpel", "Emons": "emons", "Hellmann Worldwide Logistics": "hellmann"} 

When adding tracking details, make sure to use the correct API identifier in your requests. For example, use Swiss post for Swiss Post shipments.

Step 4: Update Order Status:

Finally, update the order status to either "Shipped" or "Delivered", depending on the current state of the shipment.
