Product Restrictions for Specific Countries

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment
1

We need to ensure there are restrictions on products within our collection containing alcohol being shipped to countries out of the UK.

Initially we’ve created a separate shipping profile for UK only however what that is now doing is charging customers double the postage each time they purchase a product from within this shipping profile and something outside of this.

Any advice?

Thanks

To set up a shipping profile that allows you to restrict certain products to specific locations, you’ll need to do the following:

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping.
  2. In Shipping profiles, click Create new profile.
  3. Enter a name for the profile.
  4. In the Products section, use the search bar to add products to the shipping profile.
  5. Address any changes you need to make to your locations. Refer to Manage your locations for more information.
  6. For each shipping zone that you want in your shipping profile, complete the following steps:
    1. In Shipping to, click Create shipping zone.
    2. Name the shipping zone.
    3. Select the countries or regions that are part of the zone, and then click Done.
    4. For each shipping rate you want in the zone, click Add rate, choose the rate’s details, and then click Done.
  7. Click Save.

We don’t currently provide a staging environment; however, you can password protect your store by going to Online Store/Preferences so you can test the rates you’ve created.

Thank you. Will this stop the duplication of shipping charges we’re currently experiencing?
