Shipments and tracking

Meridian Freight adds a Site manager menu to your WordPress dashboard. Under Site manager → Shipments, add a shipment:

• Title: the tracking ID, for example MF-204981 (stored in capitals).
• Mode: for example Ocean or Air.
• From and To, and the ETA.
• Milestones, one per line: Status | Location | Time | done. For example Cargo received at origin terminal | Yangshan Port, CN | Oct 23 · 14:40 | done. Leave off done for milestones still to come.

Give the tracking ID to your customer. They enter it on the home page's Where's my shipment? or on the Track page and see the route, the ETA and every milestone. Update the milestones as the shipment moves.

A shipment shows only for its exact tracking ID, only while it is published, and lookups are rate limited.

Testimonials and blog

Site manager → Testimonials holds the client quotes on the home page (name, role and company, quote). Blog articles are normal WordPress posts (Posts → Add New).
