Manage Shipping Profiles

In this guide, you’ll learn what shipping profiles are and how to manage them.

What is a Shipping Profile?

A shipping profile groups products with similar shipping requirements, allowing you to provide shipping options specifically for those products.

For example, if your store has fragile items that are shipped differently, you can create a Fragile shipping profile and associate it with those products. Then, create shipping options for fragile products separately from other products.
