How do I enter packaging costs?
Open Logistics and click Packaging. Under How you pack, choose One box for everything if every parcel costs the same, or A box for each size if small and large orders ship in different boxes. Type the box's Price: what one box, its tape and its filler cost you. It is charged once for every parcel, even one picked up in store.
Under Made of, add each material with its weight in grams, and click Add material for the next one. Weigh one empty parcel: the box, the tape, the filler and the labels. These weights are what your Packaging EPR cost charges per country.
With A box for each size, you list Your boxes, smallest first. Each box has a name, a Price, what it Holds up to, in sizes, and its own materials. Click Add a box for another one. The last box says Anything larger, so every parcel fits somewhere, and each box shows how many parcels it packed in the last 30 days. Choose One box for everything to go back to a single price.
An order's packaging sizes are added up, and it ships in the first box that is big enough. An example: a T-shirt is size 1 and socks are 0,5. Two T-shirts and one pair of socks make 2,5, so the order takes the first box that holds 2,5 or more. Set each product's size on the Products page. A product with no size counts as size 1, and a banner above your boxes names it.
Box sizes are a big lever on cost, as box size economics shows. To work out a price per parcel first, try the packaging cost calculator. Choose the day the prices start under From when these prices count, then click Save at the top.
