Adding Weights to Products

Adding weights to your products is necessary when using weight-based shipping rules or exporting an order manifest for upload into a courier web app such as Royal Mail Dispatch Manager Online. Weights can be added in two ways: either individually by product or in bulk via the product import/export feature.

Adding weights by products

To add weight information on a product-by-product basis, click 'Edit' next to the product you wish to add weight to.

Adding weights using the product import/export

To add or update your weight information in bulk, simply export your products using the Product Import/Export feature as shown in the video here, ensuring you have the 'Weight' field checked for export. Again, all weights are in kg as noted above.
