Adding Product Weight

Adding accurate product weight is essential for proper shipping rate calculations. You can add weight at both the product and variant level.

How to Add Weight

• Navigate to your product admin page
• Find the weight field within the product details
• Enter the accurate weight for your product
  
  
  
  For detailed instructions on adding weights at both product and variant levels, watch a tutorial video:
  

Adding Product Dimensions

There are several methods to add dimensions to your products. We'll cover each method, starting with our recommended approach.

• Method 1: Product Description (RECOMMENDED)
  This is our recommended method for adding dimensions to your products.
  • Navigate to your product's description field
  • Add dimensions in one of these supported formats:
    Dimensions: 23"W x 18"L x 33"H
    Dimensions: 23"W x 18"D x 33"H (using D for depth instead of L is acceptable)
    
    
• Method 2: Product Title
  • Open the product you want to add dimensions to
  • Add dimensions to the title using this format:
    Example: `Coffee table 48"W x 18"D x 74"H`
  • Save your changes
    Note: Titles can be edited in bulk from the products page.
    
    
• Method 3: Product Tags
  You can add dimensions as product tags under the "Product Organization" section.
  • Supported formats:
    • - `21Wx21Dx90H` or `21Wx21Lx90H`
    • - `21"W x 21"D x 90"H`

• Method 4: Metafields
  While metafields are supported, they are no longer the recommended method for adding dimensions. If you need to use metafields:
  • Access the metafields section within your app
  • Ensure you use the correct namespace and key structure:
    • `uship.length`
    • `uship.width`
    • `uship.height`
  • Important: Incorrect namespace or key names will prevent shipping rate calculations in the cart.
  • For detailed instructions on setting up metafields, watch a tutorial video: 
    
    
    
    
• Bulk Editing
  • You can edit weights and dimensions for multiple products simultaneously.

Best Practices

1. Always use consistent units across all your products
2. Double-check measurements for accuracy
3. Include dimensions in the product description whenever possible
4. For products with variants, ensure each variant has accurate weight information
5. When using multiple methods, ensure dimensions are consistent across all locations

Troubleshooting

If you're not seeing shipping rates in your cart:
1. Verify that weights are properly entered
2. Confirm dimensions are in a supported format
3. If using metafields, check that namespace and keys are exactly as specified
4. Ensure there are no conflicting dimension entries across different methods
