What are packages?
Packages are pre-defined boxes, bags, or envelopes that you commonly use to ship your orders. By preloading these package types, you can save time during order fulfillment, as you won’t need to manually enter dimensions each time.
Packages can also be linked to specific courier rates provided by your connected couriers. For example, if you have a package with the code A4, and one of your connected couriers supports rates for A4 sized packages, the corresponding rate will be available when fulfilling an order with that package.
