Activate multi-origin shipping
The multi-origin shipping is activated to all new Shopify stores by default. If you can'tcreate a shipping profilein yourShipping and deliverysettings, then your store is using the single-origin shipping.
If you want to switch from the single-origin shipping to the multi-origin shipping, then you need to activate the multi-origin shipping manually.
Before you begin
There are a number of considerations you should be aware of before you activate multi-origin shipping.
Apps that control and edit shipping rates in the Shopify admin
Some shipping apps offer similar features as shipping profiles, such as per-product shipping rates, shipping rate merging, or shipping discounts. Each shipping app integrates with shipping profiles differently. Contact the developers of any shipping app that you use to learn how to integrate the app with multi-origin shipping.
Multiple locations for online order fulfillment
After you activate multi-origin shipping, your order fulfillment can be split between locations. If you have more than one active location that fulfills online orders, then your orders are split for fulfillment in the checkout based on product inventory levels.
When the products in an order are in different shipping profiles or need to be shipped from different locations, a shipping or delivery fee is calculated for each item and then all the shipping fees are added together. The customer is shown only the final shipping cost at checkout. For more information on how rates are added together, refer toCombined shipping rates.
