That's a very subjective question, but one we're willing to give our educated opinion on. In the immensely competitive eCommerce industry, customer expectations are rising and stores that can deliver the most convenient and smooth experience are at a competitive advantage. This is the reason we do recommend implementing a seamless, branded after-sales experience because it exceeds these expectations, makes the customer experience memorable and garners brand loyalty, which means long-term repeat business. 

We appreciate that some warehouses will be shipping products from different lines or brands. We can customise your tracking web page, email updates and automation to accommodate numerous brands with different branding. 

The onboarding process for Shipster After-Sales is particularly straightforward if you are already a Shipster user.

The first will involve working out which types of shipments you want to track.. all internal? a particular courier? all shipments?

Whilst we work on implementing the automated updates, you will be given access to the order status web page and email templates for customisation. 

After 2-3 weeks of this, everything will go into testing and if all is well, we put your new customer tracking service live at the push of a button.

As you're already a client, the process will be much quicker getting you set up!
