Sample Code – Adding UPS Tracking Code to Links
<a href="https://wwwapps.ups.com/tracking/tracking.cgi?tracknum=[YOURTRACKINGCODE]"></a>
Obviously, you should replace the [YOURTRACKINGCODE] with an actual tracking code, ideally one your stored from the UPS API when you auto-generated the order, right 😉
I posted this as it took me a little while to track down the correct URL for this when I needed it last. Hope it helps you. If it does, leave a comment!
Additional Update – using your own UPS Tracking Code!
Have you landed in here looking for somewhere online to input your own UPS tracking code? If so, then I’ve made a tool for you below, which uses the formula above to shoot you over, magically, to the UPS website and track your parcel. Because… well, we noticed that a lot of people were landing here searching for UPS tracking, and figured that, actually, maybe a lot of you actually wanted to track a parcel, rather than working as developers to make UPS tracking links (which is described above).
- Copy this link: https://wwwapps.ups.com/tracking/tracking.cgi?tracknum=[YOURTRACKINGCODE]
- Where it says [YOURTRACKINGCODE] insert your tracking number.
- Visit the full link with your tracking number inserted…
There you’ll find your parcel information. Done!
