Overview

The shipping box settings page allows you to add standard shipping boxes you regularly stock to ship your products to Lister, saving you time packing and shipping orders.

When listing a product, selecting a box size helps calculate the dimensional weight, which is used to calculate shipping charges for your customers. Box sizes are also available in the Pack Mode and Shipments pages when creating a new shipping label.

This guide walks through each setting on the Shipping Boxes page.
