Uploading Weight Based Shipping Profile

What is it?

BackerKit now offers a way to upload a weight based shipping table to generate the shipping profile with a click of a button. 

What are the common use cases? 

  1. I have a lot of shipping regions and each shipping table has a lot of ranges and building them out manually takes too long.

How can I enable it for my project?

If you are interested in using this feature, please find instructions below.

  1. Make a copy of the shipping upload template here and download it in .CSV format.
  2. Fill out the information on the template (See Legend for directions).
  3. Go to your weight-based shipping table by clicking "Add Shipping Fees," then select either:
    1. "Whole Order Weight-Based" or
    2. "Stackable Shipping >> Weight-Based Add-on Shipping"

Looking for metric?

BackerKit defaults to LBS & OZ, if your shipping quotes are metric, kilograms & grams, you can edit this under the Advanced Shipping tab.

  1. Once you're in your weight-based shipping profile, scroll to the bottom to find the "Upload Shipping Rates" area.

  1. Select your file and upload it.
  2. If there are errors during the upload, they will be displayed in the changelog section of the shipping upload.
    1. The error log will show you where the error is in the file so you can update it and try again.
    2. If you continue having trouble, contact your Success rep or hello@backerkit.com.
