  2. Tracking number - Add the tracking number that the provider assigned. If you chose the "Custom Provider" option, you need to enter the full link to the company's tracking page (if applicable).
  3. Date shipped - Optionally choose the shipping date when the package was shipped.
  4. Preview - Test the preview link to see if it works as you'd expect.
  5. Save Tracking - This is also a good time to change the order status to "Complete" as to send the completed order email to the customer including the shipment tracking code.
