The Terminal49 Track & Trace Widget lets you easily embed real-time container tracking on your website with just a few lines of code. It offers a seamless experience for your customers and helps boost satisfaction by providing up-to-date shipment visibility.


How to Embed the Track & Trace Widget on Your Website

To get started, you’ll need a publishable API key. You can request one by contacting our support team via support@terminal49.com or through our webchat.

Once you have the key, you can embed the widget on your website. We suggest creating a dedicated page for tracking, typically at company-website.com/track. You can also embed the widget directly on your homepage. If you decide to create a dedicated tracking page, we recommend adding a h1 tag above the script.Feel free to customize the h1 contents in the script.

Copy and pase the code below and insert it on top of the page (under your page navigation if you a horizontal top navigation). Replace REPLACE_WITH_PUBLISHABLE_KEY with the API KEY you receive from us. We suggest adding a h1 tag above the script. Feel free to remove change the h1 contents in the script below.

To query a bill of lading, container, or reference number, simply replace REPLACE_WITH_NUMBER_TO_QUERY with the specific number you want to search for. If data-number exists, the query will be performed only once.
