Yes, Pirate Ship allows you to schedule an email that sends the tracking number to your recipient. To use this feature, make sure you include an email for your recipients when uploading a spreadsheet of addresses or creating a single label.
For Single Labels and Spreadsheet Uploads
You can customize the way this email looks and verify the email address it will be sent from by going to Settings > Tracking Emails.
Alternatively, if you’d like to import the tracking numbers into your own external email system, you can download the tracking numbers. Navigate to the “Ship” page, click on the desired batch or single label, and click the blue “Export Data” button.
Turning On Tracking Emails for Your Integration
If you connect your eCommerce platform, you can enable Pirate Ship's tracking emails for your orders by going into your Settings > Integration Settings, and clicking "Edit":
Note that Pirate Ship doesn't receive email addresses from eBay.
When you buy a label and the order is marked as Complete, eBay and Etsy will notify the buyer themselves through their internal messaging system.
Checking to See if a Tracking Email was Sent
To check if a tracking email has been sent, head to your main Ship page and click on the label. At the bottom of the screen you will find the 'Email Recipients' line:
If there is a date and time listed, that's when your tracking email was sent. If there is nothing listed, then no email was sent out from Pirate Ship!
Changing the Date and Time a Tracking Email is Sent
If the date and time originally set has not elapsed, you can change when the email will be sent out.
Forget to Include Your Recipient’s Email Address?
There isn’t a way to add your recipient’s email address after a label has been purchased, unfortunately 🙈
When this happens, you can just copy and paste the tracking number into your personal or business email to send to your recipient! Alternatively, you can refund that label and create a new one. Here's how to request a refund.
