How to add tracking numbers in Magento 2?

The tracking number of any shipment is as important as the shipment itself. If you are an online store owner, you would know this. Important to realize, that advantages of a tracking number can never be estimated. They aid in the correction of shipment errors. If the wrong product is sent to the wrong customer, the tracking number is what helps to solve the problem. It makes it easy to identify the location the product and subsequently redirect the order. Without the tracking numbers, such misplaced orders of products will waste.

The funny thing to note is that the more products you ship out to your customers, the more tracking numbers you have to include per product. This increases the stress involved in dealing with customer orders. Applying for the tracking number individually is stressful, time-consuming and prone to mistakes and errors. All these disadvantages would affect the shipment in the long run. You should, however, note that a bad shipment results in an unhappy or irritated customer. That fact is very bad for the reputation of the store.

The tracking number normally adds to packages before shipping. They help to track the location of the deliveries and tracking shipment for both the store and the buyer. The format of the tracking number is of different types depending on the country/state the package has been shipped to, the country/state the package is delivered to and the shipping company involved in the delivery.
