Using Saved Parcels
When creating a shipping label, click Saved Parcels in the parcel section and select a template. Dimensions (and default weight, if set) auto-populate.Editing and Deleting
- Go to Settings > Saved Parcels
- Click Edit to update dimensions, or Delete to remove a template
Tips
- Use clear names with dimensions (e.g.,
12x9x4 Mailer,6x4x3 Small Box) - Only save sizes you actually stock
- Update templates if you change box suppliers
- If rates look incorrect, re-measure the box and confirm dimensions
If you add or change parcel sizes and use order-based rates, you will need to regenerate your rates to keep checkout pricing accurate.
