What Does the ‘Track with Shop’ Expansion Mean?

Simply put, if you have customers with shipping addresses in Japan or Singapore, they will now be actively prompted to track their orders using the Shop app. This means a more unified and user-friendly tracking experience, moving away from generic carrier tracking links to a dedicated, branded app experience.

For eligible Shopify stores with ‘Track with Shop’ enabled, customers will see a clear ‘Track with Shop’ button on key touchpoints:

• Your store’s thank you page after purchase.
• The order status page.
• Within order notification emails.

These prompts invite buyers to download the Shop app and follow their delivery journey directly within the app.

Enhanced Customer Experience in Japan and Singapore

This expansion is all about improving the post-purchase journey. Instead of navigating complex carrier websites, customers can now enjoy a streamlined, visual tracking experience right on their mobile devices. This leads to increased customer satisfaction and reduces the likelihood of “Where is my order?” (WISMO) inquiries, freeing up your customer support team.

Full Japanese Language Support for the Shop App

A significant part of this update is the full localization of the Shop app and Shop.com. The entire interface is now available in Japanese. This is crucial for providing a truly native experience to Japanese-speaking buyers, allowing them to browse and manage their orders comfortably in their preferred language. This attention to localization demonstrates Shopify’s commitment to supporting global commerce effectively.

What Are the Benefits for Your Shopify Store?

• Increased Customer Satisfaction: A smooth tracking experience directly impacts how customers perceive your brand.
• Reduced Support Load: Self-service tracking means fewer customer inquiries about order status.
• Improved Brand Engagement: The Shop app keeps your brand top-of-mind even after purchase.
• Market Penetration: Better service in Japan and Singapore can foster loyalty and encourage repeat purchases in these valuable markets.

How to Ensure Your Store is Ready

To take advantage of this new expansion, you simply need to ensure two things:

1. Your store is eligible: Most Shopify stores are, but it’s always good to confirm.
2. ‘Track with Shop’ is enabled: You can usually find this setting within your Shopify admin under your order or notification settings.
