Shipping Profiles - Store Integration

[roger5]

Hi

Some suppliers want only integration with Shopify for US orders / shipping. They don't want international shipping / integration like printed mint app.

Can we create on our shopify account a specific shipping profile for this supplier ie printed mint and set it to us US shipping only, and run our other shipping profiles and suppliers as US and International. 

Thanks

Roger

Yes, you can create specific shipping profiles on your Shopify account to manage different suppliers' shipping requirements. For instance, you can create a shipping profile for a supplier like Printed Mint that only ships to the US, while maintaining other shipping profiles for suppliers that ship both domestically and internationally. Here’s how you can set it up:

### Step-by-Step Guide to Create Specific Shipping Profiles

1. **Log in to your Shopify Admin**:
- Go to your Shopify admin dashboard.

2. **Navigate to Shipping and Delivery Settings**:
- Click on **Settings** at the bottom left of the admin panel.
- Select **Shipping and delivery**.

3. **Create a New Shipping Profile**:
- In the **Shipping profiles** section, click on **Manage rates**.
- Click on **Create new profile**.

4. **Name the Shipping Profile**:
- Give your new shipping profile a name, e.g., "Printed Mint - US Only".

5. **Add Products to the Shipping Profile**:
- Add the products that are fulfilled by Printed Mint to this shipping profile.

6. **Set Up Shipping Zones**:
- Under the **Shipping to** section, click on **Create shipping zone**.
- Name the shipping zone (e.g., "United States").
- Select the United States from the list of countries.

7. **Set Up Shipping Rates for the US**:
- Add the shipping rates for the United States. You can set rates based on weight, order price, or offer free shipping.
- Click on **Done**.

8. **Exclude International Shipping**:
- Ensure no other countries or regions are added to this shipping profile. This will restrict shipping to the US only for the products in this profile.

9. **Manage Other Shipping Profiles**:
- Ensure your other products are in a different shipping profile that includes both US and international shipping zones.
- Set up appropriate shipping rates for these zones.

10. **Save Your Settings**:
- Click **Save** to apply the new shipping profile.

### Example of Setting Up the Profiles

- **Printed Mint - US Only**:
- Products: All products fulfilled by Printed Mint.
- Shipping Zones: United States.
- Shipping Rates: Define rates (e.g., standard shipping $5, express shipping $15).

- **General Shipping Profile**:
- Products: All other products.
- Shipping Zones: United States, International.
- Shipping Rates: Define rates for both US and international destinations.

By following these steps, you can ensure that products from Printed Mint are only available for shipping within the US, while other products can be shipped both domestically and internationally. This setup helps you manage different suppliers' shipping requirements effectively on your Shopify store.

Hello @roger5,

Yes, your approach is perfect. You can create a separate profile for the supplier's products and set up shipping only for the US zone. This way, only customers from the US can purchase the product.

If a customer adds the product to their cart and then changes the destination country at checkout to a non-US location, Shopify will prompt them to remove the item from the cart, as shown in the image below.

Hope this helps!
