Hey @lionelexpress To link Shopify to your Shipping Company website we have a few options for you
1: Custom App / Integration - Build a private Shopify App that connect to lionelexpress.com’s API to sync orders and tracking
2: Webhook - Set up Shopify webhooks to automatically Send order data to your Shipping website when an order is placed
3: Third party middleware - Use tools like Zapier or make integromat to bridge Shopify Orders With your Site

Hi there @lionelexpress

To link Lionel Express to Shopify, the best approach depends on exactly what you are trying to achieve.

If you want to show your live shipping rates directly at the Shopify checkout, you will need a developer to build a custom integration using Shopify’s Carrier Service API .

If you just want customers to be able to track their packages on your website, you can easily add a custom tracking URL (like lionelexpress.com/track?id=) directly into your Shopify shipping and fulfillment settings so it automatically links from their order emails.

Hope this helps,

I guess this one app they alreay have on the Shopify app store for the purpose of linking the Lionelexpress with Shopify.

Here is the app link that shared below.

Depends on what exactly you want to connect. Two most common scenarios:

For live shipping rates at checkout - you need a developer to build a custom carrier service integration using Shopify’s Carrier Service API. This pushes your rates directly into the checkout.

For order tracking - much simpler, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery > and add your tracking URL format like lionelexpress.com/track?id={tracking_number} so it auto populates in customer order emails.

Which one are you trying to do?

Hi there @lionelexpress
Best option is add lion express as a carrier by using a shipping app or customized carrier services if they give API access. If they have rates and tracking API, develop a private Shopify app to obtain live shipping rates on checkout and return fulfillment tracking information to Shopify. Or you can mirror their rates manually, and automate label creation with tracking updates via a shipping solution that integrates with multiple carriers.
