Carrier Tracking Link Manager + App Cleanup
The Opportunity
Control and localize tracking URLs per carrier and remove leftover tracking-app code. Restore native carrier links and fix order status page links without Plus.
"Default tracking links route to wrong locales and tracking apps hijack/leave dead links after uninstall, breaking customer tracking experiences."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution

Competitive Landscape
AfterShip, Parcel Panel, Track123, Theme code cleaners (generic)
Implementation Notes
Theme App Extension injecting link overrides; carrier template library (GLS DE, etc.); bulk updater for existing fulfillments; script to detect/remove app snippets and order status page overrides; settings UI; multilingual support.
Evidence from Merchants
Real quotes from Shopify community forums
"the free plan now only allows 50 orders to check their shipment, after which I have to pay if I want more customers to be able to view their tracking."
"I just want the link to be redirected back to my carrier’s page. Lesson learnt!"
"Does anyone have a solution for uninstalling the Trackeroo app on my store, including the removal of code?"
"I need to change the tracking link as it redirects to the international page instead of the local one."
"This generates the line/link 'GLS Trackingnummer: 0123465789' and I need to change it."
