You probably already know the answer! Or are you affected by it?

PayPal cannot assess whether you are doing serious business without this information. Without tracking data the risk for you is classified as VERY HIGH RISK.

The consequences are catastrophic for you. Paypal will reserve a part of your earnings and will not pay out. We have already seen rolling reserves of 80% with a period up to 120 days!

This can lead to you being unable to pay your suppliers and having to give up the business.

Of course without tracking infos it is also not possible to win disputes! In the doubt you will lose all cases. Even if you add the tracking infos of exactly these cases, Paypal does not have much confidence in you and will often decide for the customer.

You can avoid all this by doing honest business!

Transfer all tracking information and PayPal will trust you! PayPal can track where the shipments are and will see that everything is ok! This will create no or very low reserves and you can access your money! Also account suspensions are almost impossible.

Shopify has updated the requirements for App Store listing. Apps that are " Payment Gateways that add functionality to an existing gateway or modify an existing gateway" will no longer be listed.

As a direct result, PayPal Tracking Autopilot for Shopify joins the ranks of ClickFunnels, Carthook, Bold's Cashier and Zipify's OCU (One Click Upsell), apps that live and thrive outside the Shopify App Store.

From now on PayPal will build up much more trust and you save a lot of time!

As soon as you enter tracking data in your shop (manually, or automatically with various solutions such as Oberlo or Massfullfill), PayPal Tracking Autopilot recognizes this. The tracking data is then transferred fully automatically to paypal. This happens very fast. Usually it takes 1-2 minutes. If you enter a large amount of tracking data at the same time (> 1000), it can take up to several minutes.

During this time the autopilot is working and you can focus on important things.

The data is transferred at lightning speed! :D The PayPal Tracking Autopilot for Shopify recognizes new data immediately and transfers it to Paypal in a few seconds. Usually information will be completely transferred in 1-2 minutes. If you are very successful and transfer more than 1000 tracking data simultaneously, it can take up several minutes.

Funfact: Even with large amounts of data we usually need less than one second per tracking info for the data transfer.

You should always be transparent to Paypal and especially to your customers. However, there may be cases in which it is necessary to perform a mapping. In many cases ePacket deliveries are done with USPS. In order to enable your customers to track and to display the "last mile" in a useful way, you can set a default value. This means that you can change a specific logistician into a logistician of your choice. Please remember: It is always useful to do this already in the shop!
