Ans: Yes, you can set the dimensions and weight of the product with any unit in the product settings. The WooCommerce Shipping Plugin for FedEx with Print Label takes these dimensions and weight from product settings and converts the weight and dimensions of the product into Lbs and In automatically, and the converted weight and dimensions are passed to FedEx API.

Note: If the weight and dimension of the product are in Kg & cm, make sure you convert and enter the customized Box dimension in inches with box weight and maximum weight in lbs.


Q2: If multiple items are ordered, how many items can I fit into one box?

Ans: The total number of items that can fit into a single box, depends on the dimensions and weight of the product(s) available in the Cart.
