Webgility desktop can be configured to retrieve the Tracking ID from Quickbooks Desktop and post the Tracking ID to your online store marking the order as shipped.

When you process the shipping of your online orders in QuickBooks using QuickBooks Shipping Manager, you have to update the tracking IDs from QuickBooks to your online store manually.

When using Webgility to post the orders into QuickBooks and QuickBooks Shipping Manager to ship your orders, Webgility can retrieve the Tracking ID after you paste it into the Sales Order or Invoice in QuickBooks and send it back to the online store updating the shipping information and changing the order status to shipped.

Below are the steps to access and configure the settings for retrieving tracking id:

In Webgility software, go to Integrations> Shipping> Shipping Settings (Image below)

This will open the Shipment Settings window for shipping. Select Yes here, then select the QuickBooks Shipping Manager check box under Use Webgility to get shipment details from other applications. (Image below).

Now on the same page, select the QuickBooks Shipping Manager tab on the top to access the settings for retrieving the Tracking ID (Image below):

There are a few options for retrieving the Tracking ID:

General Settings for “QuickBooks Shipping Manager” in Webgility.

Override Shipping Carrier while posting to store

Example: The shipping carrier selected at the store is UPS. If the option is selected, it will override the shipping carrier chosen in Webgility

Retrieve Tracking ID from Invoice

Example: If a Sales Order is posted to QuickBooks and converted to an Invoice, this option will retrieve the Tracking ID from the Invoice. If the option is not selected, Webgility will retrieve Tracking ID from the Sales Order.

Do not format Customer Shipping address at the time of QuickBooks posting

If selected the shipping address will not be formatted while posting orders in QuickBooks.
This comes in handy for example: If you end up with a dash showing in the shipping address in QuickBooks, you can select Do not format customer shipping address at the time of posting to QuickBooks. This will remove the dash.

Retrieve Multiple Tracking ID from Multiple Transaction

If the orders from your store typically have multiple Tracking IDs from multiple shipments select this setting.

You can retrieve the Tracking ID without using matching text If you update the Tracking ID in the Memo or Other field in the order in QuickBooks. You will need to select the option in the dropdown “Retrieve Tracking ID from QuickBooks Field” (Memo or the Other field). This will look in the selected field and pull the information from there.

If you are not using the Memo or Other fields, you will need to set up Matching Text to retrieve the Tracking ID.

On the Sales Order or Invoice, you will need to copy the shipping text leading up to the colon, this will be the Matching Text Webgility will look for to grab the Tracking ID.
For example, as shown below, UPS Tracking #: this will be the Matching Text.

You will need to add the matching text to the form using the + plus sign on the top right of the matching text area. If you have multiple different matching texts, you will need to enter them into this form and save them. (see screenshot example below)
