What they’re for

Packages are pre-defined templates for boxes or envelopes. When creating a shipment (individual or bulk), you can select a package instead of entering dimensions manually each time.

Where to configure

In Shopify Admin, open the FEMA app and click Packages in the sidebar.
Packages tab

Package types

Adding a package

  1. Click Add.
  2. Enter a name (e.g. “Small box”).
  3. Select the package type.
  4. Enter dimensions in centimetres: length, height, width.
  5. Click Save.

Editing or removing

  • Click Edit on a package to change its properties.
  • Click the trash icon to remove it.
Removing a package does not affect already-created shipments. It only stops being available for new ones.

No packages configured

If you don’t configure any packages, shipments are created with FEMA’s default dimensions: To customise dimensions per shipment, use the block on the individual order page.
