How to include the same Products into two different shipping profiles?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify merchant needed to include the same products in two different shipping profiles based on location (US-only vs. US + International).

Solution Implemented:

  • Created two separate shipping profiles in Settings → Shipping and delivery
  • Profile 1 (Local & International): Includes products shipping both domestically and internationally, with separate zones for United States and International markets, each with custom shipping rates
  • Profile 2 (Local/United States only): Contains products shipping exclusively within the US with its own zone and rates
  • Both profiles use carrier apps for calculated rates (UPS & DHL with Shopify Discounts) and custom rate setup for free delivery conditions based on price

Alternative Approach Suggested:
Another user proposed creating two variants of the same product and assigning each variant to different shipping profiles.

The original poster welcomes feedback on whether a better method exists and hopes this solution helps other users facing similar challenges.

Hi, I have spent a few hours trying different setups to find a solution for our shop, until I realised the following solution for having the same Products on two Shipping Profiles based on Location.

We have a shop that sells:

  • Products that are only Shipping Local (United States)
  • Products that are Shipping Local & International

To have the Same Products on the Local & International Shipping Profiles. We have created 2 Profiles, Going to Settings and then to Shipping and delivery:

1- Local & International Shipping Profile:

  • Including the products that will be shipping to United States & Internationally
  • Creating a Zone (United States with their own shipping rates)
  • Creating a Zone (International with their own shipping rates)
  • For the Shipping Rates we used the option Use carrier or app to calculate rates, to include UPS & DHL services with Shopify Discounts and Set up your own rates for setting up the Free Delivery adding conditions based on Price.

2- Local profile (Unite Estates):

  • Including the products that will be shipping to United States only
  • Creating a Zone (United States with their own shipping rates)
  • For the Shipping Rates we used the optionUse carrier or app to calculate rates, to include UPS & DHL services with Shopify Discounts and Set up your own rates for setting up the Free Delivery adding conditions based on Price.

If there is a better way to do it would be great to know it, if not, I hope this solution works for other Users.

Thank you

You can create 2 variants of the same product and then assign the two variants to the two shipping profiles.
