Introduction

When managing an on line store built with Joomla and VirtueMart, selecting the right package, cardboard box or locker for shipping products can become a complex task - especially when an order includes miltiple products with varying dimensions.

To simplily this process, we have developed a custom plugin that automatically calculates the total volume of the products in an order and suggests the most suitable package, cardboard box or locker, based on the dimensions registered  in VirtueMart. 

Compatibility: Joomla 5 / VirtueMart 4.4 / PHP 8.2

How the Plugin Works

1. Retrieving Product Dimensions

The plugin reads the products dimensions (Height, Width, Depth) as defined in VirtueMart.

2. Calulating Total Volume

• For each product in the order, the plugin calculates the volume using the formula Height x Width x Depth
• Then it sums the volumes of all products in the order. 

3. Suggesting the Best Package or Locker

The plugin compares the total volume with the list of available packages, cardboard boxes or lockers (configured by the vendor or store admin)

It then automatically suggests the smaller package, cardboard box or locker that can fit the order, helping to save space and reduce shipping costs.

Requirements to ensure proper operation: 

• All products in VirtueMart must have accurate dimensions (Heigh, Width, Depth).
• The store administrator or vendor must register the available packages or lockers and their dimentions in the system.
• All the calculations concern the internal dimensions of the package or locker. 

Plugin Benefits

✅ Automatic package or locker suggestion – Saves time for the store administrator. 

✅ Reduces Error – Prevents choosing packages or lockers that are too small for the order.

✅ Improves user experience – Speeds up and optimizes the shipping process.

Conclusion

This plugin for VirtueMart automates the package, cardboard box or locker selection process, making shipment management faster and more accurate.
If you're using packages or lockers for your orders, this plugin is a must-have tool that simplifies your workflow.
