New in Retino Tracking: Transactional Emails from Order Creation to Delivery
Customers expect to stay informed about their order at every step after purchase. That’s why Retino Tracking is introducing automated transactional emails — key messages that build trust, save time, and unify communication under the online store’s brand.
What Are Transactional Emails and Why They Matter
Transactional emails (or “transacts”) are messages customers receive in connection with their orders. When a customer places an order, they expect confirmation that everything went smoothly. They want to know their payment was received and when the package is on its way. These are not marketing messages — they’re essential communications customers rely on to stay informed and confident throughout the shopping journey.
Examples include:
Emails Triggered by Order Creation
Emails Triggered by Payment Status Changes
Emails Triggered by Fulfillment Status Changes
Shipment-Related Emails
Order confirmation
Summary of ordered items
Next steps information
Payment confirmation
Pending payment reminder
Partial payment notification
Refund confirmation
Payment cancellation notice
Order handed over to the carrier
Order preparation in progress
Order ready for dispatch
Order ready for pickup
Order successfully delivered
Order available for pickup
Final pickup reminder
Order returned to the online store
From Shipments to Orders
This marks the next step in the evolution of Retino Tracking. Until now, Retino Tracking has sent emails only related to shipments — updates about the movement of the package between the carrier and the customer.
These messages are triggered automatically based on changes in the shipment status provided by the carrier.
Now, this functionality is being extended to cover entire orders. Customers will receive a complete overview — from order confirmation to package delivery — all in a consistent visual style, unified communication tone, and with full analytics available in one place.
Transactional emails are triggered automatically based on order or payment status changes, ensuring seamless communication without manual effort.
This gives you full control over the entire customer journey — from the moment an order is placed to successful delivery.
One System for All Emails
Transactional emails in Retino are not just another set of notifications — they unify communication between the online store and the carrier in one place.
You get:
a modern email template design,
real-time updates on the integrated Track & Trace page within your online store,
delivery and open-rate statistics by email type,
a unified look and sender identity under your store’s brand,
no need for additional integrations on the store’s side.
Each email links directly to the Track & Trace page embedded in your online store, where customers can see the current status of their order or shipment. This reduces the number of inquiries to customer support and creates a smoother post-purchase experience.
Example of the tracking page of the Olivie.cz e-shop, which has a link to order tracking in the online store footer.
AI-Powered Email Template Editor
We’ve put great care into the design and technology behind transactional emails. They feature a modern, fully responsive layout. With our drag-and-drop editor, you can easily adjust text, colors, and buttons to perfectly match your brand.
We’re introducing a new, enhanced email editor in Retino Tracking that allows you to customize templates effortlessly — so they fit your brand identity down to the last detail.
The editor is powered by artificial intelligence, which helps you fine-tune both text and design. You can even upload a screenshot of an email you like, and then simply adjust the individual elements. This gives you full control over your emails — without tedious coding or graphic design work.
This new feature is being gradually rolled out to selected accounts as part of the testing phase.

Fewer WISMO inquiries to customer support: When customers know the status of their order, they don’t need to ask “Where is my shipment?” or “When will my package arrive?”
Professional impression: Every transactional email strengthens the brand and builds trust.
Unified analytics: The store can track how transactional communications perform — open rates, click-throughs, and their impact on customer satisfaction.
One address, one system: All notifications (order and shipment-related) come from a single email address under the store’s name, not from multiple sources, creating consistent and professional communication.
Compliance with legal requirements: Fulfills the obligation to inform customers about order confirmation.
Increased website visits: Bring customers back to your online store through links to the Track & Trace page.
Benefits for the Customer
Clarity and overview: Customers know exactly what’s happening with their order — from placement and payment to package delivery.
All information from a single email address: No need to search through multiple emails or track the carrier separately. All updates come under the online store’s brand.
Modern and easy-to-read format: Retino’s transactional emails aren’t just plain messages — they are smart, visually appealing, and easy to read, even on mobile devices.
How to Activate Transactional Emails
To send emails about order status updates, we need to receive updates instantly. That’s why we’ve improved order synchronization to happen in real time.
If you use Shoptet, Shopify, or Upgates, activating transactional emails is simple — we integrate order webhooks for these platforms.
Do you have a custom online store solution? Integration can be done via our new Orders API — a detailed guide for your developers is available in the documentation.
In recent years, the focus on post-purchase care has grown — customers care not only about delivery speed but also about the quality of information they receive during their shopping journey. Retino helps online stores professionalize and automate this part of their communication.
