Overview

This guide explains how to configure weight-based shipping for your Baby Bunting Marketplace listings using Omnivore. By setting up weight-based shipping, you can offer different shipping charges based on the weight of your products. 


Step-by-Step Setup 


1. Ensure Product Weights Are Defined


Each product in your eCommerce platform must have a weight specified, typically in kilograms. To verify that Omnivore has imported your product weights:

  1. In Omnivore, navigate to Products > Baby Bunting > Manage Listings.

  2. In the product table, check the 'Weight' column to ensure weights are listed.


Magento Users:

If you're using Magento, ensure that the weight field in Magento is correctly mapped to Omnivore:

  1. Go to Settings > Feeds > General in Omnivore.

  2. Scroll down and click the 'Map Fields' button.

  3. Confirm that the Magento weight field is mapped to the Omnivore weight field.


2. Create Product Groups in Omnivore


Product groups allow you to categorise products based on specific criteria, such as weight ranges.

  1. In Omnivore, go to Products > Product Groups.

  2. Click 'Add a product group'.

  3. Enter a name for the group (e.g., "0–5kg").

  4. Define the weight range (e.g., minimum weight = 0 kg, maximum weight = 5 kg).

  5. Click 'Create Product Group'.

To verify if a product is assigned to a product group:

  1. Go to Products > Baby Bunting > Manage Listings.

  2. Select a product to view its details.

  3. Scroll down to the 'Baby Bunting Product View' section to see the assigned product groups.


3. Create a Shipping Policy in Omnivore


Shipping policies in Omnivore define how shipping charges are applied to products.

  1. In Omnivore, go to Settings > Baby Bunting > Shipping.

  2. Click 'Add new shipping policy'.

  3. In the 'Shipping Policy Name' dropdown, select the corresponding shipping class in Baby Bunting (e.g., "Medium" for products weighing less than 5 kg) - see example screenshot below

  4. Select the product group you created earlier.

  5. Click 'Update'.


This action creates a shipping policy in Omnivore linked to the chosen shipping class for products in the specified group.
