1. Logging into Your Armory Commerce Account

To begin the integration process, log into your Armory Commerce account. Once logged in, navigate to the "Tools" section and select "Apps and Add-ons." Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "API Apps and Integration."

2. Accessing the API Apps and Integration Page

On the API Apps and Integration page, click the "New" button to create a new app. Provide a name for the app, such as "AfterShip," and a brief description like "Shipment tracking app." Click "Next" to proceed.

3. Creating a New App

Choose the "Single Token Flow" as the authorization flow for the app. Select the necessary permissions, allowing access to view customer/user or profile data under "People Permissions" and view all data under "Orders Permissions." Save the settings by clicking "Save."

4. Obtaining the Access Token

After saving the settings, you will be provided with an access token. Copy this token as you will need it for the integration process. Click "Create" to finish creating the app.

5. Setting Up Your AfterShip Account

If you don't have an AfterShip account, create one for free. Log into your AfterShip account and click on "Apps." Scroll down and locate "Armory Commerce" from the list of available apps. Click "Add" and proceed with the setup.

6. Entering Store Details

When adding the Armory Commerce store, you will be prompted to enter your store's URL and the access token obtained earlier. Fill in these details accordingly. By connecting AfterShip to your e-commerce store, it will automatically retrieve shipments added to Armory Commerce in the past three days.

7. Automating Shipment Import

After successfully connecting your e-commerce store, AfterShip will automatically import the shipments from Armory Commerce. To track them, click on the "Tracked" tab in your AfterShip account. Here, you can view all your shipments with different statuses displayed on the left-hand side.

8. Managing Shipments and Tracking Status

On the right-hand side of the "Tracked" tab, you can see your shipments and their corresponding IDs and statuses. The shipments will be color-coded based on their delivery status. For example, blue represents "in transit," orange indicates "out for delivery," purple signifies "exception," and so on. Clicking on a specific shipment will provide you with detailed tracking information.

9. Importance of Customer Information

AfterShip also imports customer information associated with each order, including the customer's name, email, and item names. This helps in providing a comprehensive tracking experience for your customers.

10. Sending Delivery Notifications

With the AfterShip free app, you can track all your shipments in one place. However, to send delivery updates to your customers, you can opt for the premium version. The premium version allows you to send email notifications at a nominal fee of ten cents per shipment. These notifications can be sent when the shipment status changes to "in transit," "out for delivery," "delivered," or "exception." You can even customize the email notifications and send them from your own email address, increasing customer engagement.
