Magento 2.2.1 – How to Set Up Product Dimensions (Width, Length, Height)

magento-2.2.1magento2productshipping

I'm building a custom shipping method for Magento 2. And I couldn't seem to find product dimensions within the standard attributes

However, when receiving product data information from the checkout in my plugin it does show width, height and length. (dump shown below)

{"street":"Test street 23","postcode":"1122AB","country":"NL","city":"Amsterdam","packages":{"height":null,"width":null,"length":null,"qty":1,"value":45,"weight":0}}

As I want to make this shipping method as general as possible, where can these 'standard' attributes for dimensions be set?

Thanks.

These default product dimensions I was looking for, are now available since magento version 2.2.5 and are retrievable like so;

$product->getTsDimensionsLength();
$product->getTsDimensionsWidth();
$product->getTsDimensionsHeight();

Magento – Magento 2 – Dimensional Weight Confusion

I am also having a very difficult time understanding this but as far as I am aware of, there is NO actual support of dimensional weight on as of Magento 2.2.6. Although they have added the default Length, Width, and High but it is probably for Magento's own shipping called Mangento Shipping and unfortunately it does come with a high monthly subscription, just like the only promising third party extension called "ShipperHQ" and thus I was not able to test them.

I have researched so many extensions in hope of finding ones that would provide accurate live rate with dimensional weight included in the calculation but there is just simply none. As for a store that charges shipping, it is very difficult to provide an accurate shipping estimate for customer.

While some have suggested to put the calculated dimensional weight as the "weight" in the backend, while it will somewhat works but it is not ideal and honestly not a long term solution.

I found the correct headings to use by searching the attributes table of the database. Here are the headings to use, in case you find this searching like I was:

ts_dimensions_length

ts_dimensions_width

ts_dimensions_height
