shipping_weight

Optional Field

This field is optional, but omitting it may leave out functionality on Prisjakt for your offers

Description​

It is recommended to add this attribute if delivery costs based on weight. This attribute is required if any of your shipping services in Business Center has a weight condition, since the shipping of an offer can only be built from such a service when the weight of the offer is known and falls inside the configured range.

Effects When Omitted​

  • An offer without a weight can never be matched by a Business Center shipping service that has a weight condition. If all your services have weight conditions, such an offer is published without shipping information.

Validation Rules​

  • Length must be between 1-50 characters
  • Unit must be one of g, kg, lb or oz
  • Value and unit must be separated by a single space, for example 11.2 kg
  • Matching against Business Center. Weights are compared after conversion to grams, so you can use any supported unit. A minimum in a weight condition is inclusive and a maximum is exclusive

Example Values​

Here are examples of how a valid shipping_weight value should look like in XML and CSV (with header) respectively.
