Magento 2 Dimensional Weight pricing
Dimensional weight, a.k.a dimensional pricing/ DIM weight, implies the calculation of packages shipping costs based on the smart usage of carrier “valuable space” (not just a package weight). By default, the platform doesn’t offer volumetric shipping, which is used by multiple carriers (including Magento 2 DHL). Our extension changes the situation and provides integration with Magento 2 dimensional shipping.
How DIM weight is calculated?
This method lets you calculate the shipping cost of a product based on the weight and package volume. The general calculation formula normally looks like a package length added to its width and height (volume) and then divided by a DIM factor (or rate). For example, 10x10x20/150 = 13 Ibs. Where a DIM factor is the amount of space the package takes up per pound (it may vary from carrier to carrier, e.g. DHL ans USPS have different requirements).
How do I manage shipping costs in Magento 2?
Your products can have different sizes and shapes but you need to find a right package for each of them to save on the shipping costs. By applying Magento 2 volumetric shipping, you (a) help a carrier optimize the usage of the cargo “valuable space” and, thus, (b) receive precise live rates for your store products. Defining the dimensions of your products, packages and rules for how you pack different products together you can minimize risks and reduce this costs. See the configurations below.
What carriers are calculating costs based on dimensional weight?
The DIM pricing was accepted by larger carriers in 2015. That was the year when leading carriers replaced the package weight with its size for shipping rates calculation. The method has proven to be the most cost-effective and evolved to such an extent. Now major Magento 2 carriers, such as DHL, USPS, FedEx, or UPS, apply dimensional weight to shipments. Thus, if you deal with these carriers you’ll need to use the Dimensional Weight Shipping Method in your Magento 2 store.
How does Magento 2 Dimensional Shipping work?
Our Dimensional Shipping Weight extension for Magento 2 allows accurate configuring of Volume weight settings.
Dimensional weight or dimensional factor here is calculated as length*width*height of a product package. Relying on the dimensional factor, the extension provides a shipping factor or DIM.
The factor is later applied by a carrier to reach the most effective weight of a shipment. Put simply, the dimensional factor is an amount of space a package takes up per pound (Volumetric Weight).
When applying the Volumetric Weight attribute for a product together with a regular product attribute Weight, the Magento 2 Dimensional Shipping Weight extension will compare the two showings and choose the one with the biggest value.
How to configure Magento 2 Dimensional Shipping?
Step 1: Create a Volumetric weight attribute
To specify a volumetric weight attribute for a product, you need to create it. For this, click to add a new product attribute and define the attribute parameters. Then navigate to attribute sets and choose the categories of products to which you want to add a new attribute. After that switch to a product you need and specify the volume field for it.
Step 2: Adjust the Separate dimensions attribute calculation method
Choose Dimensional attribute in the Volume weight field. Choose a relevant attribute for the volume parameters (e.g.: Attribute 1, Attribute 2, Attribute 3) and fill in the Shipping factor.
Step 3: Configure the Dimensions attribute calculation method
Set the Dimensional attribute in the Volume weight field. Select the attribute you’ve added before. Then specify the DIM factor.
Step 4: Set up the Volume attribute calculation method
Specify the Volume attribute in the Volume weight field, then choose the Attribute you created before. To specify the DIM factor (shipping factor), consult your carrier.
Apply the Volumetric weight attribute calculation method
To make the Volumetric weight attribute enabled, set the Volume weight to Yes. Then select one of the volumetric weight attributes you’ve created earlier.
How does Magento 2 Dimensional Shipping Weight calculate the rates?
When the shipping rates and prices are set up in this methods, there are three active conditions: Country, Quantity, and Shipping Type.
Shipping rates for this group of products will be based on the next parameters:
- the products attributes (Price, Quantity, and Weight) are summarized;
- the system compares the result with the configured conditions and applies the rate, which matches all the requirements.
Additional Dimensional shipping options
- Create numerous custom shipping methods
