Symptom smallbox and bigbox is used to differentiate the size of individual products or packages in which the products will be shipped to the customer.
This flag is very important because it matches products with the transport type.
Your carriers may charge different prices depending on the size of the packages they carry. Based on the agreed terms, you can also set up shipping in the partner portal (smallbox/bigbox - determined by the partner).
To distinguish whether a product is a "small" or "large" size package, the so-called package size tells us whether it is a smallbox or a bigbox. The package size must correspond to the underlying transport.
- Smallbox: shipment has a sum of three sides 170 cm (longest side max. 100 cm) and max. weight 20kg
- Bigbox: shipments above the above dimensions
Only small-box shipping is available for partner sales.
Smallbox/bigbox transport settings
If you are using the API connection method, you will find the documentation on Deliveries.
For other connections: for correct behaviour of the smallbox/bigbox product differentiation, you need to have the appropriate smallbox/bigbox transports set up in the MALL Partner Portal.
Note
- If the product has the bigbox flag set and the partner does not also have bigbox shipping set up, the product cannot be ordered. The product can only be ordered after bigbox shipping has been added.
- If the partner does not set the package size for the products, they are automatically treated as smallbox.
