About this block

Shipment Updates List translates courier scan codes into human sentences, on a van heading toward your city, while keeping the raw code visible in small mono for the logistics nerds, the block says so itself. Newest first, timestamped, placed.

Updates are one array with human and raw fields, the translation layer is a lookup table you own, which is the actual product idea here.

When to use

Reach for this block as the detail view under the tracking timeline, for customers who click into the full history, international orders especially, where scan counts triple and anxiety with them.

A natural flow around it on an Ecommerce Pro page:

Before

• Tracking timeline giving the summary view first

After

• Contact territory for when a scan goes quiet too long

What you can display

One strong use is the translated scan feed. Other lists:

• Return journey. The same translation applied to the return label's scans.
• Customs decoder. The international codes that scare people, explained.
• Quiet gap notice. An inserted row when no scan arrives for 48 hours, acknowledging it before the customer asks.

Tip: the inserted quiet gap row is the highest value feature in tracking, silence acknowledged is service, silence ignored is a support ticket.
