Product sizes to be more accurate with shipping costs

Good Day,

We have a store that has 15-16 products that people tend to order 1 or 2 of multiple products. All products are different in size and shape. Is there a way in the Shopify app that will automatically calculate the size of boxes based on the size of all the products they order and the boxes I have so that the shipping adjustments are actually accurate?

Thanks

Hi @AllianceEquine ,

Yes, you can use a Shopify app like Boxify or Advanced Shipping Rules to automatically calculate the best box size based on the dimensions and weights of the products in an order. These apps consider your predefined box sizes and pack items accordingly to provide accurate shipping rates. Shopify’s built-in shipping calculator doesn’t offer this feature, so using a third-party app is the best solution for precise shipping cost adjustments.

Hi @AllianceEquine

Shopify’s built-in shipping settings don’t automatically calculate box sizes, but you can use an app like Boxify or Advanced Shipping Rules to optimize packaging. These apps calculate the best box size based on the dimensions and weights of the products in an order, ensuring more accurate shipping rates.

If you’re using Shopify Plus, you can build a custom shipping script to handle box selection dynamically. Otherwise, third-party fulfillment services like ShipStation or EasyShip also offer smart packing solutions.

Hi @AllianceEquine - To do this accurately, you’ll need a shipping rate management app that supports box packing logic based on product dimensions.

It lets you define product sizes and available box sizes, then automatically calculates the best fit and adjusts shipping rates accordingly.

Best,
