Shopify Post-Purchase Order Tracking Forces Account Creation and Hides Carrier Numbers
Shopify customers are forced to create an account just to access tracking information after purchase, alienating one-time buyers who prefer guest checkout. The tracking system often fails to surface the actual carrier tracking number, making it impossible to resolve shipping issues directly with the carrier. This UX friction increases customer support burden and reduces satisfaction for merchants on the platform.
