Setting up shipping profiles

Ashipping profileis a set of shipping rules for specific products and locations. To have the same shipping rates for all your products, you only need to set up a general shipping profile. If you want to have different shipping rates for specific products, then you can create additional custom shipping profiles.

Considerations for setting up shipping profiles

Before you set up your shipping profiles, review the following considerations:

  • Make sure that you're familiar withshipping zonesandshipping rates. Each location in each profile can have its own shipping zones and rates.
  • Some apps that manage fulfillment, such as on-demand custom printing apps, are automatically added as a location to your shipping profile and can alter your shipping settings setup.
  • If your order contains products from different shipping profiles or locations, then separate shipping rates for each product are combined to provide your customer with a single shipping rate at checkout. Acombined shipping rate at checkoutcan lead to higher shipping costs for your customers.
  • You can add a product or a product variant to only one shipping profile at a time. If you add a product or a product variant to a second shipping profile, then it's automatically removed from the first shipping profile.
  • If your staff members or a collaborator requires access to your shipping profiles, then you need to give them theProductsandManage settingsstaff permissions.
