What are Shipping Packages for, and how do I use them?

I see a Shipping Package page under Store Settings. Do I need it, and how does it connect to my products?

Shipping Packages are reusable box sizes, so you don't have to type the same dimensions on every product.

  1. Go to Settings → Store Settings → Shipping Package and click + Add package.
  2. Pick a Package type (Box, Envelope or Soft package), then enter Length, Width, Height, the Unit (cm or in), an optional Weight and a Package name.
  3. Tick Use as default package for all products if most of your items ship in the same box.

On a product, the Shipping card has a Package dropdown. Choosing a package copies its dimensions into Dimensions (cm). The package weight is treated as the empty box, so it only fills Product weight when that field is blank. On a new product, the default package is pre-selected for you.

You can skip packages entirely and enter dimensions on each product instead.
