Online Ordering can be setup to ship combines boxes. This allows multiple products from the order to be added into the same shipping box.


Note: Combined boxes can only be utilized if Shipping Combined Boxes toggle has been set to YES on the administrative settings.


Products will need to be setup with Shipping boxes and Shipping Weights before utilizing combined boxes. For more information, see Products - Shipment Options.


The system will look at the following criteria when determining how to package a shipment:

  • Looks at the boxes on a product and identifies all items with the same box, moving up from the smallest. 
  • If all products do not have a matching box, the system will match as many items as possible that have matching boxes.
  • When calculating what can fit, divide the order quantity by the number that can fit in the box to get the percentage filled and work to 100%. 
  • If greater than 100% try and find a matching box that is bigger, if not available calculate appropriate number of boxes.


Examples:


Product A = Envelope 1

14x10x10 - fits 1000

17x15x12 - fits 1500


Product B = Envelope 2

14x10x10 - fits 1000

17x15x12 - fits 1500


Product C = USB

17x15x12 - fits 200
