Overview
Sellercloud can automatically check an order’s delivery status based on the tracking number and mark orders as delivered using the carrier’s API credentials. The tracking service only works for orders shipped through your account. This excludes FBA orders and Ship Via FBA orders.

- The Enable Order shipment tracking API client setting must be enabled to retrieve the Delivery Status automatically.
- The OrderShipmentTrackingService web service must be running on your cloud environment. This service can be activated by Sellercloud Support.

To configure them, navigate to Settings > Manage Companies > select a company > Toolbox > Shipping API.
