In the eshop settings you can choose weight and length units that will be used in the admin and on the eshop. Correct configuration affects the display of shipping prices, product descriptions and the accuracy of stock data across the platform.
Where to set units
Unit settings are found in the Settings section at https://fynode.com/settings under Localization, currency, time zone and time format. Here you choose weight between "kg" or "lb" and length between "cm" or "in", which apply as defaults for the entire eshop.
Impact on shipping and price calculations
Couriers and COD calculations often expect a specific weight unit. When changing units check courier settings and conversion rules so that rates and fees are calculated correctly and incorrect tariffs do not occur.
Impact on products and stock
Units directly affect the display of data for products and in exports. If you change the unit, check shipping prices and inventory quantities to avoid discrepancies when processing orders and during synchronizations with external systems.
Recommended steps after changing units
Before making changes, back up data or export products. After changes, test product display, shipping calculation and exports to Marketplaces and accounting systems to detect and fix possible inconsistencies as soon as possible.
How do I change the weight unit from kg to lb?
Go to Settings -> Localization, currency, timezone and time format and change the weight unit to „lb“. After the change check products and shipping profiles to ensure correct display and calculations.
Will product values be automatically recalculated when units are changed?
The system will only change the unit label. We recommend checking and, if necessary, adjusting product values and exports manually so calculations are correct in all integration systems.
How do I find out if integrations support the new unit?
Check the documentation of the integrations used (Couriers, warehouses, Marketplaces) or test via sandbox/exports. If the integration supports metadata, verify that exports send the correct unit format and that the partner processes the received data correctly.
