Is your store selling a product (or more) that are shipped in separate packages? No doubt you’ve run into issues getting accurate shipping costs for those packages. In WooCommerce, a product only has one set of dimensions, such as length, width, height, and weight. So any item that, for example, ships in 3 packages will not have accurate dimensions, and thus, shipping rates are calculated.
Create as many packages as needed within the ‘Shipping’ tab on the edit product page. Through the intuitive UI, packages can be created for the product. The Length, Width, Height, and Weight dimensions for each package can be configured. A package name can also be provided that is displayed on the cart/checkout pages.
Here you see the 3 packages created for this product. Each package can be expanded to show the options per package.
Multiple Packages per Product fully supports setting up packages within each individual variation as well. If no packages are created within the variation it will fallback to the packages that are created in the ‘Shipping’ tab. If nothing is configured there the plugin will not change anything and the WooCommerce Core behaviour is followed.
Of course if not every package is the same size all the time. This also means that often, it can take different shipping options to ship a package. With the option to exclude or whitelist shipping rates, you control which options can appear or not.
Through a setting, you can display the shipping packages automatically on the product page within the ‘Additional information’ section.
The shipping packages will be displayed on the cart and checkout pages. Each package will have its own shipping options available. Here, the package names will be displayed.
How does it work when multiple quantities are added to the cart
If a product with multiple packages is purchased multiple times, each item will have its own set of packages. None of the items are combined automatically.
