How can I calculate separate shipping for a 3-pack product variant?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

A merchant wants to offer a discounted 3-pack product variant but needs to ship the items in three separate boxes rather than one combined package.

Current Issue:

  • The UPS automated shipping calculator treats the 3-pack variant as a single product
  • This generates only one shipping label and calculates shipping costs for one box instead of three

Goal:
Find a way to ensure customers are charged accurate shipping costs for three separate boxes when ordering the 3-pack variant, ideally without requiring a third-party app.

The discussion remains open with no solutions provided yet. A screenshot was included showing the product variant setup.

Hi,

I want to offer a 3-pack discounted option on my product page as one of the variants that the user can select (see screenshot).

The problem is that I would still like to send it in 3 separate boxes. I am using the UPS automated shipping calculator, which considers the 3-pack variant as one product, generating only one shipping label.

Is there a way to ensure the users get the correct shipping costs for three boxes, not one? (without an app)

Thanks for your help
