  • Width, Height, Depth & Weight. You should strive to fill each field, because knowing the exact size and weight of a package is not only useful to you, but PrestaShop can also direct specific sizes/weights to specific carriers automatically, based on these settings. Once PrestaShop (or the customer) has selected a carrier, the order's final price will appear to the customer.
  • Additional shipping costs. This can prove very useful to you, for instance for product that are particularly tricky to package, or really heavy.
  • Carriers. You can choose to have the current product only be shipped by one specific carrier. You can even choose two or three: press the Shift key while clicking on a carrier name to add it to the selection.
Note

These values use the default weight, volume, distance and dimension units, as set in the "Localization" page of th "Localization" menu.

These values do not have to be integers. If your products weight less than 1 kg/lbs, you can simply use a period (.) to indicate the fractions:

  • 123 kg
  • 1.23 kg
  • 0.23 kg
  • etc.
