Order boxing

Order boxing packs the items in a cart into the box sizes you use, and quotes the packed boxes instead of each item separately. It suits stores that send several small items in one carton. It only applies to carts with more than one item.

Set it up

Section titled “Set it up”

  1. In the members area, go to Settings > Integrations and click Settings on your WooCommerce store’s row.

  2. Open the Packaging tab and find Order boxing.

  3. Tick Group items in boxes.

  4. Enter each box’s Length (cm), Width (cm), Height (cm) and Max weight (kg). Click Add box for another size, up to 5 boxes.

  5. Set the minimum fill (below), then click Save changes.

Use the inside measurements of the cartons you actually ship in.

How items are packed

Section titled “How items are packed”

Transdirect tries every box size, uses the one that packs the remaining items best, and repeats until everything is packed or no box can be used. Items that are not packed are quoted in their own packaging.

Minimum fill

Section titled “Minimum fill”

With Minimum fill active ticked, a box is only used when the items in it fill at least Minimum fill percent of its volume. The default is 25%. A box that would be emptier than that is not used, so a small item is not quoted at the price of a large carton.

Untick Minimum fill active to use boxes however full they are.
