Product Dimensions and Weights
Summary
Dimensions and weights describe an inventory variant's size, weight, and units; they power real-time estimates like rate shopping and are best mapped in at import so they auto-carry into product variants.
Dimensions and weights describe an inventory variant's size, weight, and units. They power real-time estimates like rate shopping and can pass through to a sales channel. They are best mapped in at import and are auto-carried into product variants unless overwritten.
| Field | Values |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | Length, Width, Height |
| Dimension units | Inches (in), Centimetres (cm) |
| Weight units | Pounds (lb), Ounces (oz), Grams (g), Kilograms (kg) |
Rate shopping returns no rate or an unexpected rate
The items on the fulfillment request are missing dimensions, weights, or units, so a package size cannot be derived. Confirm the values are mapped in Get Inventory Primary with the correct unit, or add them via a bulk customization.
What are dimensions and weights used for?
Real-time estimates such as rate shopping during order routing, and they can also be passed through to a sales channel.
Where do I set them?
Typically in the Get Inventory Primary mapping template with the correct unit. You can also set them manually or add them later in bulk.
What units are supported?
Dimensions in inches or centimetres; weight in pounds, ounces, grams, or kilograms.
Do product variants inherit the source dimensions?
Yes. Flxpoint auto-maps the source values into product variants unless they are specifically overwritten.
