Changing shipping carrier


Recommended Posts

On our store we offer free shipping. Depending on the destination of the order, the size, weight, etc., we use different shipping carriers.

 

I am trying to create a shipping method that is called "Free Shipping". I would like to send the customer a tracking number when the order ships, but can't figure out how to specify the shipping carrier after the order is generated.

 

The workflow I would like to use is:

 

- Customer places an order.

 

- We package up the goods and decide the shipping carrier.

 

- We mark the order as Shipped by UPS / Shipped by Fedex / Shipped by DHL, etc. and input the tracking number into a field.

 

- Customer receives an e-mail with a link to the carrier's tracking info.

 

I can't figure out for the life of me how to do this. It seems that each shipping method is tied to a carrier, which is fine, but I cannot modify the shipping method after the order is generated so that the customer receives a correctly formatted tracking URL.

 

Am I missing something? Help!
