Side by side
Compare the workflows.
| Merchant decision | PalSync | MetaTrack |
|---|---|---|
| What gets updated | The carrier, tracking number and delivery updates for matched PayPal payments. | Its listing describes syncing Shopify tracking information to the matching PayPal transaction. |
| What to budget | Choose a tier by synced order volume over a 30-day billing period. | Its plans describe a monthly credit allowance and an unlimited-credit option. |
| When a buyer opens a case | Look up the order and delivery evidence when preparing a PayPal response. | If case handling is important, ask for a demonstration of that workflow separately from tracking sync. |
Before you choose
Follow one split shipment.
- Pick an example order with two parcels. Write down the order count, parcel count and number of tracking updates.
- Check where each tracking number appears on the payment. Ask whether correcting a number consumes another credit.
- Use the billing unit the vendor confirms, not the number of parcels, to estimate a normal month.
