Note: If you need help adding dimensions to your products, check the guide linked in your dashboard.

Volumetric Weight is calculated using this formula:
Volumetric Weight = (Length × Width × Height) / Dimensional FactorThe default dimensional factor is 5000.
- You can modify this value under: Settings > Basic app setup > Volumetric dimensional factor

- Click “View” on Scenarios.
- Select “Create scenario” and give your scenario a name.
