Shipments and packages

You can configure packaging and shipping settings to ensure accurate shipping costs and streamline your fulfillment process:

  • Set up package types and dimensions to help carriers calculate correct rates based on size and weight.
  • Configure package weights to calculate accurate shipping costs at checkout and ensure timely delivery.
  • Use barcodes to streamline fulfillment by scanning items during picking and packing.
  • Review shipping carriers that integrate with Shopify or connect your own carrier accounts.

You might configure package settings when you need accurate rate calculations, use barcodes when managing large order volumes, or connect carrier accounts to display real-time shipping rates at checkout.
