shipping_width

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 dimensions. This attribute is required if any of your shipping services in Business Center has a size condition, since the shipping of an offer can only be built from such a service when all three of shipping_length, shipping_width and shipping_height are known and fall inside the configured range.

Effects When Omitted​

  • An offer that is missing any of the three dimensions can never be matched by a Business Center shipping service that has a size condition. If all your services have size conditions, such an offer is published without shipping information.

Validation Rules​

  • Length must be between 1-50 characters
  • Unit must be one of cm or in
  • Value and unit must be separated by a single space, for example 24.5 cm
  • Matching against Business Center. Dimensions are compared after conversion to centimetres, so you can use either unit. A size condition is only matched when all three dimensions are present on the offer. A minimum in a size condition is inclusive and a maximum is exclusive

Example Values​

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