PayPerFax Tracker is an optional browser extension. It keeps a list of the faxes you send from that browser, with their status, for 30 days. Without it, you still have the confirmation page and the result email.

​
How it works

  1. You send a fax on fax.payperfax.com as usual.
  2. When the confirmation page opens, the extension adds the fax to its list.
  3. Every minute, it reads the status of each fax that is still sending, also when no PayPerFax tab is open.
  4. The toolbar icon shows a number: how many of your faxes are still sending.
Click the icon to open the Fax history. Each fax shows the date and time, the destination, the pages, the duration, the Remote ID (CSID), and the result.

​
Results in the list

​
Desktop notifications

Notifications are off by default. To get one when a fax finishes, open the extension and click Turn on next to “Get a desktop notification when a fax finishes”. Your browser asks for permission. Click a notification to open the fax’s confirmation page. Click Turn off to stop them.

​
Clear the list

Click Clear All in the extension. Faxes older than 30 days are removed by themselves.

​
Privacy

  • Where the data stays: the list is stored in your browser only. The extension does not send it anywhere.
  • What it stores for each fax: the transaction ID, the full destination number, the pages, the duration, the Remote ID, the result and failure message, and the times.
  • What it does not store: your documents, your email address, or payment details.
  • Network access: the extension reads fax status from payperfax.com only. It does not read other websites.
  • Permissions: access to payperfax.com, storage (for the list), alarms (for the check every minute), and notifications only if you turn them on.

​
Troubleshooting

The extension adds a fax when its confirmation page loads in a browser where the extension is installed and turned on. Open the fax’s confirmation page again, for example from the link in your result email.
Check that the extension shows “Desktop notifications are on”. Then check that your browser and your operating system allow notifications from the browser.
A private or incognito window does not keep extension data. Your browser can also be set to clear site data when it closes.
