After entering your shipment’s Tracking number, Shopify may recognize the format of the tracking number, and it will automatically choose a shipping carrier for you. But, in some cases, Shopify might not identify the tracking number format. When this happens, you can then choose a shipping carrier which is in the Carrier drop-down list by yourself.

But if Shopify does not support your carrier, you can then select Other from the drop-down menu in the Carrier field and enter the Tracking URL. When entering the URL, you need to enter the complete one including the digits which your carrier provided to help you track the shipment.
