Setting Up Shipping Profiles

Shipping profiles let you reuse the same shipping logic across many listings in a store.

Choose a method

• Free shipping when shipping cost is absorbed by the business.
• Flat rate when the charge is predictable and easy to explain.
• Table rate by subtotal when larger orders should pay a different amount.
• Table rate by weight when shipping cost scales with package weight.

Destination scope

Decide whether the profile applies domestically, internationally, or both. Keep separate profiles when the pricing logic is materially different.

Use caps and thresholds carefully

• Max shipping charge keeps shipping from growing too large on big carts.
• Free shipping threshold is helpful when you want to encourage larger orders.

Tips for reliable setup

• Match profile logic to your store’s weight and dimension units.
• Prefer one clear default profile for most listings.
• Override shipping on a listing only when that product genuinely needs special treatment.
