Assigning Packaging to a SKU

This document provides an overview of Assigning Packaging to a SKU.

Why is assigning packaging to a SKU useful?

Assigning a package with a set weight to a sku will ensure customers are receiving the most accurate rates from the carrier. Additionally, this will ensure the correct packaging is being used for its assigned product.

Assigned packaging will be automatically applied when an order contains the linked SKU.

If the packaging has assigned weight, it will be added to the order weight.

If the product SKU has a Carton Weight, that will be used as the Total Weight.

Carton weight can be set up to cover multiple quantity orders.
