Aro

Last Update hace 2 meses

In this method, an AI-based algorithm is used to efficiently pack the items based on their dimensions and weight.

1. Select the shipping zone where you want to apply this packing method.

2. Choose your carrier as the criteria to calculate the shipping rates.

3. Enter your carrier account credentials and click “Validate Account”.

4. By default, Shopify will use your fulfillment location as the shipping origin. If you are using a different location, select the “Specify Different Location” option and enter the details.

5. Select the shipping services offered by your carrier.

6. Select "AI Based Packing Algorithm" as your packaging method.

7. Choose your preferred packing algorithm:

  • Largest package first: This option will use the largest packaging box first to pack the items.

  • Largest item first: This option will pack the largest item on the cart first into a package that fits it.

8. Next, choose the stacking method that you prefer.

9. If needed, set a product filter to apply this method only to specific products.

10. Click "Add Package Details" under the Package Options.

11. Enter the asked details:

  • Package Name

  • Maximum weight the package can accommodate

  • Empty weight - weight of the packaging box (optional)

  • Outer dimensions of the packaging box - length, width, & height

  • Inner dimensions of the packaging box - length, width, & height

Once you enter the details, click "Add".

Note: Outer dimensions are used to retrieve rates from the live carrier. Inner dimensions are used by our AI algorithm to pack the items efficiently.

12. Add details of all your packaging boxes.

13. Set a fallback rate in case the carrier doesn’t return a shipping rate.

14. Click "Save" to complete the process.
