Problem

When Linnworks updates an order to mark it as shipped, the incorrect courier can be added to the order instead of the courier defined in the Vendor field of the Linnworks Postal Service Method.


Cause

When updating an order as shipped and sending tracking URLs, Linnworks uses the following logic: 

  • Linnworks attempts to match the courier from the Linnworks Postal Services > Vendor to our internal list of couriers that support tracking URLs. A full list of couriers is below.
  • The order must contain a tracking number.


If one of the above conditions fails, the channel (Shopify, Walmart, or Cdiscount) will use internal logic to assign another courier (vendor).
