For Western Bid customers, there is an option to automatically add the tracking number of a package prepared in the personal account to the corresponding order in the Etsy shop. With this synchronization, if you create a shipment in the Western Bid personal account, the order in your Etsy shop for which you created the shipment will automatically be marked as fulfilled and the tracking number of the created shipment will be added to it.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\u200dTo automatically add the tracking number to your Etsy shop, you first need to authorize your shop<\/a> in your Western Bid account. Etsy authorization will allow you to automatically upload the data for your orders into the system and quickly and conveniently process shipments in just a few clicks.<\/p>

\u200dIf you have already authorized your Etsy shop in the Western Bid system, the automatic tracking number synchronization feature is already available to you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In this case the parcel will be tracked in Etsy from the very beginning \u2014 from the moment it arrives at the Western Bid warehouse in Kyiv, then through all the delivery stages.\n\n\u200dThis is especially important for shipments via consolidations, UPS and FedEx via Poland<\/strong>: the parcel will no longer get stuck in the Pre-transit<\/strong> status. The buyer will see the shipment’s up-to-date movement from the very beginning.\n\n\u200dIn the dropdown menu you can independently choose which tracking number to transmit to the Etsy order.\n

    2. Transmit on the expected ship date<\/b>\nIn Etsy for each order the expected ship date is specified (Expected Ship Date). If you choose this mode, the system will wait for the specified date to arrive and only after that will automatically transmit the tracking number to Etsy. In this case the tracking number will not appear in Etsy immediately after creating the shipment, but will be transmitted exactly on the day of the order’s expected ship date.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
