Full Shipping container

Topic summary

• Main need: A B2B (business‑to‑business) Shopify storefront where customers place orders that must fill a full or half shipping container. The catalog has many SKUs (stock keeping units), and any item combination is allowed.

• Key requirement: Display, as customers add items, how much of a container is filled by weight or volume, enabling full/half-container ordering rules.

• Ask: Is there a Shopify app that calculates container capacity (by weight/volume) and enforces full or half-container thresholds?

• Feedback so far: One response notes Shopify lacks built‑in functionality for this use case and for advanced B2B workflows. Suggests looking for third‑party apps in the Shopify App Store, potentially “shipping bundle” style tools.

• Decisions/Outcomes: No specific app recommendations or confirmed solution yet.

• Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Next step is to evaluate third‑party apps that support container capacity or packing logic.

Hi all,

We have a customer who is looking to have a b2b shop where they allow customers to order however they need to fill a full or 1/2 container with product, they have a large number fo SKU’s and it can be any combination, however we want to show them how much of a container hs been filled by weight or volume.

does anyone know of an app which allows for this ?

Shopify doesn’t have much functionality for that or b2b in general. you have to search the app store for a 3rd party application. some sort of shipping bundle app
