Why are my Printify shipping profiles missing rates on Shopify?

[Sevillasultana]

Hello,

I am new to Shopify and I am still working on my website, I but a domain using Shopify and still developing my site. I will be selling printed T-shirts via Printify, the problem is I can wrap my head around these shipping rate IT IS CONFUSING BEYOND BELIEF!! There a Printify shipping profile integrated itself when I connected my product via their site, but that doesn't work the admin says that I have missing rates and I have to create these things myself so there is also a GENERAL PROFILE, no matter what I do, it always fails to work and tons of nations can checkout when I simulate the checkout even though Printify integrated all shipping rate necessary to sell and ship everywhere around the globe but Shopify doesn't like it.

I am from Spain and the admin insists that must have a main marker (WHICH I DON'T HAVE) I sell those T-Shirts world wide it doesn't matter whether the customer is in Spain or not because I outsource the printing and the delivery to US companies via Printify so I don't sell or send anything from my location.

I have a big problem making this work. I don't want anything but USA and International because the companies I use are located in the US therefore my real local market is not spain but USA and it's the cheapest shipping rate because of that. shopify doesn't understand this and displays very low shipping rates for Spain because the admin thinks that I deliver from Spain which is not the case but from USA so Spain must be considered International.

It is just horrible and truly regret beginning here I fell lost after all the effort I put on my products and the website design.

Can anyone advise something please ?

Thank you.

Hello, 

I can understand that sometimes setting up shipping rates can be frustrating. Setting up shipping rates on Shopify involves configuring shipping zones, adding shipping methods, and defining the rates for each method. Here's a step-by-step guide for setting up shipping rates for the USA, international in your Shopify store:

### Step 1: Access Shipping Settings

1. **Login to Shopify:**
Log in to your Shopify admin panel.

2. **Go to Settings:**
In the left-hand sidebar, click on "Settings," and then select "Shipping."

### Step 2: Create Shipping Zones

1. **Add a Zone for the USA:**
- Click on "Add shipping zone."
- Enter "United States" as the name for the zone.
- Add the appropriate states or regions within the United States.
- Click "Save."

2. **Add a Zone for International Shipping:**
- Click on "Add shipping zone."
- Enter "International" as the name for the zone.
- Specify "All countries" or select individual countries.
- Click "Save."

### Step 3: Set Up Shipping Methods

1. **Set Up USA Shipping Methods:**
- Under the "United States" zone, click on "Add rate" next to the desired shipping method (e.g., Standard Shipping, Express Shipping).
- Set the shipping rate based on your preferences.
- Click "Save."

2. **Set Up International Shipping Methods:**
- Under the "International" zone, click on "Add rate" next to the desired shipping method.

### Step 4: Test Your Shipping Rates

1. **Place Test Orders:**
- Perform test orders to ensure that the shipping rates are calculated correctly.
- Use different addresses for the USA, international, and Spain to verify that the appropriate rates are applied.

2. **Adjust if Necessary:**
- If you encounter any issues or need to make adjustments, go back to the shipping settings and modify the rates accordingly.

### Step 5: Customize Shipping Labels (Optional)

1. **Customize Labels:**
- You can customize shipping labels to provide clear information to customers regarding shipping methods and estimated delivery times.

### Step 6: Save Changes

- After configuring shipping zones, methods, and rates, make sure to click "Save" to apply your changes.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up shipping rates for the USA, international  in your Shopify store.

First of all thank you so much for your fast response you truly restored my faith in Shopify. Second what you offered bizarrely worked flawlessly. even though still saying that some shipping rates are missing in my international market but pretty much all nations I want to sell to get their shipping calculated perfectly during checkout including USA and Europe.

I can't thank you enough you saved my start-up once I start selling I'll offer you a free T-shirt as a gift haha. goto exocloth.com and make a choice, once I officially start I'll send you a gift. I've been wrapping my head around this hell-shipping for 4 days my GOOOD.

THANKS A LOOOT
