I'm having problems setting up Dimensional Shipping Weight. What should I check?

If you experience difficulties trying to set up Dimensional Shipping Weight, we recommend going over this checklist:

1. The dimensional weight attribute (the one that contains values for Length, Width, and Height) should have the Catalog Input Type for Store Owner option set to Text Field. The rest of the settings may be configured the same way as depicted in the screenshots below:





2. The dimensional weight attribute should be added to the attribute sets that are used in your products, it should be visible in the Groups list in the attribute set's settings:



3. In the product configuration at Catalog → Products → your product, values for length, width, and height need to be specified the same way as demonstrated in the screenshot below (no spaces; the 'X' character is used as a delimiter):



4. The Volume Weight and Volumetric Weight Attribute settings at Stores → Configuration → Sales → Delivery Methods → Shipping Table Rates should be selected according to your needs. The code of the product attribute that is used for defining volumetric weight should be set in the Dimensions attribute dropdown:



5. The right option should be selected in the Weight Type for Calculation setting at Sales → Shipping Table Rates → [your shipping method] → Methods and Rates:


In case volumetric weight is still not working as expected, please create a ticket for our support team to investigate that.
