Automate shipping box assignment for orders with multiple items - based on Order Volume

[Dirk]

How can we automate to assign a specific Shipping Box based on the order qty, volume or weight? I don't see that automation function. Is that a feature that can be added?

In the automation section I see the criteria for

Order Weight

Order Quantity

Package

but not Order Volume

Hello @Dirk!

Thanks for reaching out! Currently, ShipStation doesn’t offer automation criteria based explicitly on order volume. However, you can often achieve similar results by using a combination of order weight and order quantity within your automation rules.

From there, you can use the Set Carrier, Service, Package action to automatically apply the appropriate shipping settings based on the criteria you’ve chosen.

If you’d like to review all available automation criteria and actions, you can check out our complete guide in the Help Center: Automation Criteria.

We’d also love to gather more feedback from the Community on how vital this automation feature is. Your idea is fantastic and incredibly valuable; thumbs-ups or comments from others help highlight its demand.

If you have any questions about building out your rules or would like assistance exploring alternatives, you can reach out to support@shipstation.com, and they’ll be happy to help.

Happy Shipping!
