Feature: Calculate remaining empty space in the shipping box
Description:
Sell Online can be use to calculate empty space in the shipping box. How this works is:
- You define the size of a few objects that would fit the size of the items that you are selling.
- Add up to 3 sizes in the shipping profile.
- Sell Online will return the empty space object that will fit in the box and the available weight.
- You would match this to the items in your catalog and with some basis affinity rules you could
display a list of complimentary products that the consumer could purchase without increasing the shipping cost.
Benefit:
- Additional sales could be realized through this type of marketing.
