Unit: Select the measurement unit from the dropdown (e.g., 'cm' for centimeters or 'in' for inches).
Length, Width, Height: Enter the numeric values for the packed box in the corresponding fields. Ensure these are accurate.
Once all required fields marked with an asterisk (*) are filled, scroll down and click Save to apply the changes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why is packaging information required?
This information is mandatory because logistics partners use the volumetric weight (calculated from these dimensions) to determine shipping costs. Accurate data prevents overcharging or undercharging for shipping.
2. What does "Items per box" mean?
This refers to how many units of the product you are currently editing are packed into a single shipping container. For most direct-to-consumer sales, this is usually "1".
3. Can I use any unit of measurement?
You must use the units provided in the dropdown menu (such as cm or inches) and ensure your numerical entries correspond accurately to that unit.
