Adding accurate product weights is one of the most important things you can do to improve your shipping experience. Whether you’re just getting started or cleaning up your catalog, it’s quick and easy in both Shopify and Pack to the Future.
🛒 Option 1: Add weights in Shopify
Go to your Shopify Admin > Products
Click on a product
Scroll to the Shipping section
Enter the product weight
Save
📝 You’ll need to do this for each variant if your product has multiple sizes or weights.
🚀 Option 2: Add or bulk edit weights in Pack to the Future
Open the Pack to the Future app in your Shopify Admin
Go to Settings > Product Dimensions & Weights
View a list of all your products
Add or update weights directly
Use the bulk editor to save time across multiple products
📦 Tip: You can also add dimensions in the same place for better shipping accuracy.
🎯 Why this matters
Accurate weights = fewer surprises.
Without proper weight data:
Checkout rates may be way off (often too low)
You’ll likely get carrier overcharges at the end of the month
You’ll spend more time adjusting orders in the Unfulfilled Orders screen
Packages may be suggested incorrectly
With accurate weights:
You get precise real-time rates for customers
You avoid nasty billing surprises
Your fulfillment becomes faster and easier
