This helps calculate live rates accurately during checkout, ensuring your customers see the correct shipping cost based on the package being used. Setting up packages is especially useful if you have standard boxes or envelopes that you regularly use. This article will guide you through the steps to create and manage your shipping packages in ClickFunnels. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/ZlPw8kwEQNVG4TK9G9ff6--kYDaGVabkBQ.png) --- ## Requirements - An active ClickFunnels account - A connected shipping [integration](/v1/docs/how-to-set-up-shipping-integrations) --- ## Understanding Shipping Packages Shipping packages in ClickFunnels help you define the size and weight of the boxes or envelopes you use to ship your products. By setting up packages, you can ensure that accurate shipping rates are calculated during checkout. This means the system will take into account the dimensions and weight of the package when it generates live shipping rates from your carrier. For example, if you often use a standard box or padded envelope, you can add it as a package in ClickFunnels. Once this is set up, live rates will be based on the specific package, helping your customers see the correct shipping costs before they place their order. --- ## Creating a New Shipping Package When creating a shipping package in ClickFunnels, you have two options: - **Custom Packages**: Use this option to define your own packaging by entering specific dimensions and weight. This is ideal if you use your own boxes or envelopes that aren’t standard carrier packaging. - **Carrier Packages**: Select this option if you’re using standard packaging from carriers like USPS, UPS, or FedEx. These predefined package sizes are provided by the carriers and can be used to calculate live shipping rates based on their specifications. **How to Create a New Shipping Package**: 1. Navigate to **Workspace Settings** from the left-hand menu. 2. Select **Shipping** from the list of options. 3. On the Shipping Configuration page, click the **Packages** tab. 4.
