Creating additional packaging
Your task/initial situation
You want to give your customers the option to select certain packaging options during checkout. For example, you could offer your customers gift wrapping or plastic-free packaging.
Creating additional packaging
- Log in to the back end of JTL-Shop with your admin access data.
- Navigate to Administration > Shipments > Additional packaging. The page Creating additional packaging opens.
- Enter a name and a description for the additional packaging for the different languages here. The names will be displayed during the checkout process.
- If applicable, set a price the additional packaging as a surcharge on the shipping costs as well as the minimum order value (gross). Only when this minimum order value is reached does the customer have the option of choosing this additional packaging.
- If desired, specify under Free from (Gross) the value of goods from which the additional packaging is free of charge. Costs for additional packaging will then only be charged between the minimum order value and the value entered into Free from. If you leave this field blank, the additional packaging option will always incur additional costs.
- Set which tax class is to be used for the additional packaging. All tax classes from JTL-Wawi are displayed here. Calculate automatically sets the tax class automatically based on the tax class predominant in the shopping basket.
- Under Customer group, specify the customer groups to which the additional packaging is to be displayed. Multiple selection is possible.
- Make sure the Active option is set to Yes and click Save. The additional packaging is now displayed to your customers during checkout. In orders in JTL-Wawi, the additional packaging is created as a custom line item. You will also see the additional packaging as a separate line item when delivering via JTL-WMS or JTL-PackingBench.
