Tracking Update Frequency

Overview

  • Starshipit automatically receives the latest delivery events from most of our carriers at regular daily intervals usually dictated by the carriers, e.g. every 8 hours.
  • If a Starshipit customer has notifications enabled, imports happen every 2 hours.
  • This article outlines how often delivery details are imported from couriers to Starshipit
  • It also highlights the difference between having notifications enabled or not.

How it works

Starshipit automatically imports the latest delivery events from most of our couriers. However, there is a limit on the frequency for when Starshipit can check for new tracking updates per order, often imposed by the courier companies themselves.

Below is a table that outlines the two update frequencies, by carrier. Starshipit can check for updates more frequently if we also send out branded email and/or SMS notifications.
