Unit Size
Extended information on product and variant unit sizes.
Overview
Use the unit size field to define the measure and dimension of your product. This value allows users to understand the exact unit size your product is sold in. When a unit size is submitted the units of measure are extracted, the units normalised to SI units and the total quantity (dimensionless quantity) and the total measure are computed. The total quantity and total measure are used to calculate the cost per unit for the product, the total measure takes priority if one is available.
When to use
- Required for a simple product and for every variant.
- Optional on a complex parent product, because it is the variants that are ordered.
