Product weight
Set the weight of your products
Setting your products’ weight correctly is key to an accurate shipping setup and a smooth shopping experience.
In Bolder, each product can define whether it has an associated weight, which lets it work properly with shipping rules and logistics operators.
Why weight matters in logistics
A product’s weight is essential data for calculating shipping options. This is especially relevant when you work with integrated logistics operators, where rates and shipping alternatives depend directly on this information.
How the total order weight is calculated
On every purchase, the system automatically adds up the weight of all the products in the cart, producing a total order weight.
This value is used to:
- Determine the available shipping options
- Calculate shipping costs
- Work properly with logistics operators
Product-level settings
The weight setting is defined directly on each product, which lets you decide when this information is needed based on its type and delivery method.
This is especially useful in mixed catalogs, where products that require shipping coexist with others that don’t.
