# What is a capped amount?

## Understand Shopify's "capped amount" concept and how it affects the Standard Box Sizes feature found in the Small Package Quotes apps.

Shopify refers to transactionally billed features as *usage charges*. *Usage charges* are limited during a billing period by setting a *capped amount*. When *usage charges* reach the *capped amount* the associated feature becomes disabled and no further costs are incurred by the merchant. The feature becomes operational again when:

- *Usage charges* are reset to zero at the start of the next billing period; or
- The merchant increases the *capped amount* during the current billing period.

Eniture Technology's *Standard Box Sizes* feature is a usage billed feature. When you consume 80% of the capped amount within a billing period, a notification email will be sent to the email address recorded in the settings. You can increased the capped amount to ensure that the feature will continue to work.

If the capped amount is met during the billing period, the *Standard Box Sizes* feature will stop working. The selected option for the setting, **Packaging method when standard box sizes is disabled**, will be used when the Standard Box Sizes feature is not operational. The options are:

- **Quote each item as shipping as its own package.**  
  Each item in the Cart will be quoted as shipping as its own package. Unless orders are shipped this way, the shipping rate estimates using this method will tend to be high.
- **Quote shipping as all items are in one box.**  
  All items in the Cart will be quoted as shipping in one box, and the shipping rate estimates will be based solely on weight. If the total weight of the Cart exceeds 150 pounds, the total weight will be divided into multiple packages of equal weight. Shipping rate estimates using this method will tend to be low.
- **Combine the weight of all items without dimensions and quote them as one package, while quoting each item with dimensions as shipping as its own package.**  
  A hybrid of the other two options. Shipping rate estimates may be higher or lower than the actual shipping charges, depending on the contents of the Cart.

Refer to the User's Guide for the app you are using for instructions on accessing this setting and its options.
