Deprecation notice: New Version Available

This version of the SDK has been deprecated and replaced with the newly reconstructed SDK.

For the latest API features and improved integration, please visit our updated repository at https://github.com/AfterShip/tracking-sdk-ruby and follow the provided instructions.

Ruby Gem for AfterShip API.

This extension helps developers to integrate with AfterShip easily.

AfterShip provides an automated way for online merchants to track packages and send their customers delivery status notifications. Customers no longer need to deal with tracking numbers and track packages on their own. With AfterShip, online merchants extend their customer service after the point of purchase by keeping their customers actively informed, while saving time and money by reducing customers’ questions about the status of their purchase delivery.

We suggest all users to upgrade your aftership gem to v6.0.0 as any earlier versions are NOT maintained, which also means you will need to upgrade your ruby version to at least 2.6 to be able to use faraday the new http client of the revamped aftership gem.
