Order tracking link or reference provided
Why it matters
After the confirmation email lands, the shopper's next question is "where is my order?" Without an order-specific tracking link, every answer requires a support ticket. That's support cost per order, plus shopper anxiety that compounds into refund requests and chargebacks on orders that are merely in transit. A dynamic tracking URL containing the order ID — reachable from the confirmation page, the email, and the account order history — deflects the entire "WISMO" support category.
Severity rationale
Low because the defect drives support volume rather than blocking checkout, but it scales linearly with order count.
Remediation
Add a dedicated tracking route at src/app/orders/[orderId]/track/page.tsx and link to it from the confirmation page, the confirmation email, and the account order history. The link must embed the specific orderId — a generic /orders link fails the contract.
<a href={`/orders/${order.id}/track`}>Track Your Order</a>
export default function TrackingPage({ params }) { return <TrackingDetails orderId={params.orderId} /> }
