Marking of bulky goods and shipping by forwarding agent

OXID eShop module: Bulky goods marking of articles

The OXID eShop extension we provide allows you to specifically mark certain items as bulky goods or shipping goods. If bulky goods products are ordered in the shopping cart together with non-bulky goods items, the customer will automatically only be offered shipping for bulky goods in the ordering process.

This functionality avoids the need to communicate with your customers afterwards about changes in the shipping process and any additional costs, which is usually difficult. Instead, the customer is informed about the special requirements and costs for shipping bulky goods items already in the ordering process, thus avoiding ambiguities and misunderstandings.

By integrating this extension into your OXID eShop, you can make the shipping of bulky goods items transparent and efficient and at the same time strengthen your customers' trust in your online shop.

Although it is perfectly possible to create and manage several shipping types in parallel in OXID eShop without special extensions, the extension we offer provides additional functionalities that help you to specifically control the shipping of certain items.

With this extension, you can mark items as bulky goods as you wish and display this information both on the product detail page and in the shopping cart. This helps your customers identify products that can only be shipped by freight forwarding and avoids misunderstandings when selecting shipping options.

In addition, the extension offers the possibility to control the shipping options displayed depending on certain item criteria, which can help to simplify and speed up the ordering process for your customers.

The OXID eShop extension allows you to define a special shipping method for bulky goods items and assign it in the module settings. When bulky goods or shipping goods are ordered, the extension ensures that only this shipping method can be selected to ensure that the shipping of the ordered products can be carried out without any problems.

In the case of shopping baskets that contain both bulky goods and items that can be sent via the normal parcel service, the customer is now only offered the bulky goods shipping method in the order process. This ensures that the customer is informed about the shipping method at the decisive point and that no problems or misunderstandings arise when shipping the ordered products.

You can use the extension to assign any number of shipping rules and countries according to which the shipping costs are calculated. This functionality corresponds in many aspects to the handling of other shipping types in OXID eShop and allows you to design the shipping in your shop flexibly and efficiently. Integrating this extension into your OXID eShop can help simplify the ordering process for your customers.
