Getting Started#

Free to start · No credit card

Spin up your post-purchase stack in minutes

Create an account, connect your shop, and publish your tracking page for free. Come back here when you're ready to unlock automatic shipment tracking and advanced flows.

Set up your account#

1. Create your account

Head to portal.gokarla.io and sign up. You'll create your organization and set up your first shop. No credit card required.

2. Follow the onboarding

The portal walks you through connecting your shop and publishing your tracking page. Most merchants are live within 30 minutes.

3. Explore the platform

Once you're live, dive into any of the guides below — or book a demo to unlock automatic shipment tracking and advanced features.

What you get for free#

Order ingestion

Push orders into Karla from any connected shop — Shopify, Shopware, WooCommerce, or your own backend via the public API.

Basic tracking page

A branded, customer-facing tracking page for your shop. Orders appear as soon as they're placed. Shipment status updates are not automatic on the free tier — customers see order details and can track manually via their carrier.

Basic issue resolution

Let customers report issues (damaged, missing, wrong item) directly from their tracking page. You handle resolution manually in the portal.

What unlocks with a paid plan#

Automatic shipment tracking

Connect any of 1,200+ carriers worldwide and Karla polls them for you — customers see live status, ETA, and delivery events without ever leaving your tracking page.

Notify — advanced triggers

Wire Karla into your own ESP (Klaviyo, Braze, HubSpot) or webhooks, and trigger branded notifications on any shipment event. See Notify guides →

Resolve — helpdesk integrations

Plug Resolve into your existing support stack (Zendesk, Gorgias, Freshdesk, etc.) with automated claim handling and reason mapping. See Resolve guides →

Advanced resolution flows

Configure full resolution journeys on your tracking page — automatic claims, conditional routing, and self-service refund / reship flows. See Tracking Page docs →
