Topic summary

A New Zealand-based online furniture and toy retailer is seeking a shipping app solution for their Shopify store.

Key Requirements:

  • Display accurate shipping rates at checkout with 2-4 carrier options
  • Handle multi-box shipments under a single SKU (e.g., a bed shipping in 3 separate boxes)
  • Calculate rates based on individual box dimensions rather than combined totals
  • Example: A product with 2 boxes at 0.1 m³ each should be charged as two separate 0.1 m³ shipments, not one 0.2 m³ shipment

Suggested Solution:
One respondent recommended using Shopify Functions to conditionally hide shipping rates based on cart contents, and offered to demo their app “Sway Functions” as a potential solution. However, this suggestion doesn’t directly address the core need for dimensional-based multi-box shipping calculations.

Status: The question remains largely unanswered, with the merchant still seeking an app that can pre-load box quantities and dimensions for accurate multi-parcel rate calculations.

Hi all,

I have an online only furniture business that sells children’s furniture and toys in New Zealand. I would like to display accurate rates at checkout allowing my customers to choose from the 2-4 different shipping options I offer. I also have a lot of products that are shipped in multiple parts eg. A bed would come in 3 boxes but have one SKU. Are there any apps where I can pre load box quantity and sizes so that the rates charged are accurate eg. A SKU that has 2x boxes at .1 m3 each would be charged as that rather than just trying to charge at a total of .2 m3

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hey Varun, You could potentially hide shipping rates if certain products are in the cart. You can do this via Shopify Functions.

I recently launched Sway Functions which helps you do that. Happy to demo you (I am based out of AEST :)) if you are keen!
