You can use the Shop app to track orders with a valid tracking number. After an order is added to the Shop app, Shop uses info from the carrier delivering your order to provide you with tracking updates. Orders populate into your Shop app in the following ways:

Find the tracking info for a delivery that you want to track. You can usually find tracking info in a shipping confirmation email, or from your customer account on an online store. In the Orders tab of the Shop app, tap + > + Add order manually. Enter the order’s tracking number, package name, and carrier.

You can view the status of the orders that you're tracking in the Orders tab of the Shop app. Connecting an email or any other account to Shop is voluntary. Shop only uses read access to find relevant shipping and order info on your behalf, and import this info into Shop for you to track your orders.

The primary feature of Shop is its package tracking — there’s a reason its official title in the app stores is “Shop: package & order tracker” — but its uses extend beyond just that one function. Even though Shop app can do more than package and order tracking, again, that’s its (current) headlining function.
