Testing


When a customer is ordering online, and goes to checkout, they would need to select 'Shipped' under the Shipping Type. The rates will appear for the options you have setup with Shippo. They can then select which carrier and service they would like use. If you've added a % or $ Handling Fee on the Portal, that will then calculate into the Shipping & Handling cost on the order.

Adjusting Product Weights based on Product Attributes

Offering products with different stock and department item options is a great way to enhance your customer's online shopping experience. Each stock and department item can be assigned a weight that will increase or decrease the total product weight for Shippo. This allows you to offer product customization and maintain accurate weights for shipments.

Stock Weights

Navigate to Inventory > Stock click on a Stock and then Actions > Edit

The GSM field drives the weight calculation for stocks in a Product Attribute list. 

e.g. a Brochure with a defaulted stock that is set at 125 GSM will calculate based on the Product weight in the Online tab. If the stock is changed via a Product Attribute list to a cover weight stock with a GSM of 215, the weight of the shipment will adjust based on the quantity ordered.


Department Item Weights

Navigate to Settings > Dockets > Department Items, click on a Department Item and under Configuration a weight can be set with mass units and per (the number of items the weight is based on. This weight is tied directly to the Lock To of each Department Item. If the Lock To is set to Square Feet Flat Size, then the weight field is equal to a Square Foot of the Flat Size.
e.g. If you have a Product that has a Flat Size of 24" x 36" (6 sq ft.) and you are setting up a Department Item that is 1lb per 1 then this Department Item would increase the weight of the Product by 6lbs, since there are 6 square feet.

Note: If you have not already done so, make sure you have registered for a free Shippo account and have been granted an authentication token that has been entered for Integration (see Creating a Shippo Account - Integrations - Shippo)
