How to configure product dimensions
Product dimensions are crucial because they determine the Dimensional Weight (DW). DW affects the final shipping fee and batch volume.
You can set dimensions for:
- All products
- Selected products
- Specific collections
Step
- Go to Product dimensions
- Click Create product dimensions
- Name your rule (e.g., “Standard box size”)
- Enter Length, Width, Height, Weight
- Choose where the rule applies:
- All products
- Specific products
- Specific collections
- Set Priority (lower = higher priority)
- Click Save
Let’s say, if you sell candles and most are shipped in…
- Length 20cm
- Width 15cm
- Height 15cm
- Weight 0.7kg
You can create one rule and apply it to the whole Candles collection.
This ensures the shipping fee is accurate even if some products lack dimensions in Shopify.
