How to Choose a Shipping & Delivery App
Shipping & Delivery apps automate order tracking, package protection, and post-purchase communication — reducing WISMO (Where Is My Order) support tickets by up to 50% for busy stores. Any merchant shipping physical products needs one, especially once order volume exceeds 50/month or you're dealing with frequent carrier delays. AfterShip Order Tracking and Route are the two dominant options, covering tracking notifications and package protection respectively.
The most important factor is whether the app integrates with your specific carriers and sends branded tracking notifications automatically — a generic tracking page with manual updates defeats the purpose entirely.
What to look for
- Carrier coverage: confirm your primary carriers (UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL) are fully supported
- Free plans exist for both Route and AfterShip, but premium tracking pages and analytics require paid tiers starting around $9-$11/month
- Native Shopify Order Status page integration — avoid apps that redirect customers off-platform to third-party tracking portals
- Volume scalability: AfterShip's free tier caps shipment lookups, so high-volume stores (500+ orders/month) should budget for paid plans
- AfterShip offers guided onboarding and live chat support; Route relies more on self-serve docs, which matters during peak season setup
