Metafield Product Dimensions for Shipping

Shopify Plus
1

I need to have dimensions for our products so our UPS account can calculate the correct shipping charges. We have lots of different items and they ship in different size boxes.

I have Matrixify and know I can upload the dimensions that way, but how do I link those dimensions and weight to the UPS account to get the correct shipping cost? I need it to calculate shipping for 1 item or for multiple items that ship together.

thank you

You’ll need to use UPS api on the checkout page. Call the API with correct box size based on items in the cart (There’s an algorithm to identify the box size required to contain all items).
Based on the response from API adjust shipping price. Unless it is business critical and causing a lot of losses I wouldn’t bother about developing it since its a fairly complex solution.
