          I would say that any term that does not include the word 'tracking' is not clear enough. In my experience, a package can have both a shipping or consignment number and a tracking number. I would suggest 'tracking number' as the clearest option, if that's a number you're going to be giving to a customer.

          The name of tracking number may vary (like item code, barcode or something) in different couriers. You can try to type it on Trackingmore and detect your order.

            The name of tracking number may vary (like item code, barcode or something) in different couriers. You can try to type it on Trackingmore and detect your order.
