Add product dimensions values to your Shopify store
It is highly recommended for your products’ dimensions to be uploaded on Shopify so that appropriate packages can be allocated for shipping by calculating the dimensional weight of selected articles. Please note that the dimension values are entered into your Shopify store, so you have full access and control for this data at all times. ShipBlink simply queries and uses these values to pass forward to the carriers to fetch box sizes and shipping rates.
ShipBlink uses the following Metafields from your Shopify store’s Product data:

By default, ShipBlink reads from Shopify’s Product metafields. If you want this lookup to happen on Product Variant level, please contact support@shipblink.com
Editing Individual Metafields:
Step 1 – Login to the ‘Bulk Editor’ page for your Shopify Store through this link, which will redirect to the page that tabulates the dimensions for all the products in your store.
Step 2 – Once Step 1 is successful, head over to the page to enter dimension values for all your products in their respective fields as shown below
You’re all done!!
