Dimensional weight support would be nice. This would be very helpful on multivendor structure. So we can import dimensional weights and calculate shipping costs a lot easier.
Agreed! give it a weight and calculate dimensions that would work in a cubic volume scenario without having to enter width, height, depth for something

Could you please provide more info? How exactly will it be configured and calculated?

So if we can create a dw entry on product page we can make system to calculate shipping cost based on dw automatically. All of our vendors provide us dw information. Idk if the situation is same for others. These numbers are based on your agreement with shipping firm.
What we do is use max amount to calculate costs. Which means last column. If the item's dw is 12, it costs $3,10.
Ups also add fuel cost on this. To solve this issue there can be a setting that we can increase the cost as percentage. IE this month it is 2.05%, next month it can be 3,0%
Maybe a plugin may work better for this. But it would make things a lot easier for multivendor users.
Hi Guys! what you think to add "category page". Now in menubar we have "product" and when we click it - nothing happened. Maybe this is possible to create page with all categories (we can decide to show only main or tree of categories").
Then when we click "product" we are moved to page with all categories (pictures"). Now "Products" is unclickable... and I think this is not the best solution. What you think?
@AM for dimensional weight you can calculate it based on the length x width and height and divided by a factor determined by the post provider or courier..
OR reverse engineer it so someone enters a weight and you reverse the algorithm to calculate a length width and depth that will work so users don't have to enter lengths,widths and depths for all their products where if you have 1000's of products of varying sizes (i.e. car parts) it can get pretty tricky:
For AusPost: The cubic weight is the parcel's volume in cubic metres, multiplied by 250. To work this out, use the formula below:
Height x length x width x 250 = cubic weight
For example: 0.5m X 0.3m X 0.4m = 0.06m x 250 = 15kg cubic weight
