Regards, Udo")* Hi, Well, to know which package to set, don't you need to open the order to check the products of the order and / or the shipping method selected by the customer ? Having to go back to the listing to change the type wouldn't instead add an extra step ? That's what I thought when I developed the plugin and decided to add the edition in the additional information of the order. Now setting the package type based on the shipping method selected is an interesting idea. I think that's possible. With the HikaShop override capabilities, it should be possible to add an extra option to the shipping methods from a hikashop plugin and then take it into account during the order creation to set the type of the package in the order. It would require several hours of developments and testing so that's not something I could give you like that though. If you're interested in us working on that capability to add it to the plugin, please use our contact form and we can give you a quote: [ www.hikashop.com/support/contact-us.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/contact-us.html) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI4LXNoaXBwaW5nLW1ldGhvZHMvOTAwNTM1LWNoYW5naW5nLXBhY2thZ2UtdHlwZS1pbi1teXBhcmNlbC1sYWJlbC1hbmQtdHJhY2stcGx1Z2luP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Udo](/forum/user/29928-udo "View Udo's Profile")** - [![Udo's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/29928-udo "View Udo's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/29928-udo) Less More - Posts: 220 - Thank you received: 8 - - - 6 years 3 months ago [\#322769](#322769) by [Udo](/forum/user/29928-udo "View Udo's Profile") Replied by *[Udo](/forum/user/29928-udo "View Udo's Profile")* on topic *[Changing package type in myparcel label and track plugin](/forum/28-shipping-methods/900535-changing-package-type-in-myparcel-label-and-track-plugin#322769 "-- HikaShop version -- : 4.3.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.9.19 -- PHP version -- : 7.2.31 Hi, Last week I installed the Myparcel label and track plugin.

Regards, Udo")* Hi, After a week experience with the plugin I agree: it's fine to change the package type while editing the order. For clarity: I didnot propose to remove the editing of the package type in the Additional information. My idea was to **add** editing in the order listing via a dropdown. Just like one can edit the order status in the listing **and** in the order details. I'm glad to read that it might be possible setting the package type based on the shipping method selected. That would be a nice improvement. However we want to gain more experience working with the plugin first. After a while we know if this is so important to us that we want to invest money in it.
