Hi guys,

Do you know if and how we have the possibility to alter the weight of sets in
our inventory? I work with a courier service that charges for the volumetric
weight of a shipment instead of the actual weight.
So for larger sets, it's the size of the box that determines the shipment
price rather then the actual weight. So, I want to make use of the automated
check out option, but if I can't modify the weight of the set in my inventory
I'll most likely ending up with paying for a large part of the shipment cost
myself.

When you add items to your inventory, it doesn't seem to be possible to modify
the weight or am I missing something?

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help,

Koen

Go to your store settings under the management tab and make sure this box is
checked. You should then be able to adjust the weight and/or volume manually
in your inventory, and set things to be weight bound or volume bound.

I hope that helps!
