🔧 How to Set Up Package Types
Click on your username in the top right-hand corner of your Selro account.
Go to Settings → click the Shipping tab.
Select Packaging.
Click New Packaging Group, then New Packaging Type.
📝 Entering Packaging Details
A new window will appear where you can define your packaging criteria.
Set the From Weight and To Weight to specify which order weights the package type applies to.
Enter the Packaging Weight, which will be automatically added to the total order weight when this package type is used.
💡 Optional: If you prefer to manually assign package types (not using these rules), you can leave the From/To Weight fields blank.
🚚 Using Package Types When Shipping
When generating shipping labels, you’ll now see a field to assign a package type.
If you have entered the From weight and the To Weight, the package type will be automatically pre-selected.
If not, you can choose it manually during label generation.
