Shipping costs used to be charged by weight. The heavier the parcel was, the more expensive the shipping. Today, most carriers apply a dimensional weight or volumetric weight formula and charge you the highest price between the real package size and the calculated one. Using only weight to get shipping rates results in inaccurate pricing.

Ship•Systems uses real product and box dimensions to find the smallest box or boxes your customer orders will fit in. Then it gets live shipping rates based on the final dimensions and weight of that packed order. Your customers will see the real rates and choose the one they want, shouldering 100% of the real cost of shipping. They get the items they want at the real price and you protect your profit margins, allowing you to grow faster and reinvest in your business.

How it works

• Pack the largest items first.
• Pack vertically up the side of the box.
• Pack side-by-side when the item fits beside the previous one.
• Allow only very small overhangs to prevent damage in transit.
• Distribute weight evenly between boxes when more than one is needed.

Ship•Systems will show you how to pack the final order in 3D right in your browser or integrated app. With full Shopify integration, you never need to leave your store's admin area to get the packing instructions.

Ship•Systems requires the Shopify Carrier Service API for real-time cart calculations. The Carrier Service is included in the Shopify Advanced plan and up or on the Basic plan with Annual Payments.

Cart calculations are executed whenever a shipping rate is requested from the storefront. In most stores this happens during checkout at the Shipping method screen though some themes offer live shipping rates on the storefront which whill also be applied against your included calculations.
