I know this topic has been mentioned in previous posts, but it would be great if someone from the Shopify team would respond. The process of adding a shipping profile to a product is screaming for improvement. Having the ability to select the shipping profile during product addition is the most efficient, common-sense method.
I have three different shipping profiles, so every time I add a product I have to stop, open up settings, go to the shipping section, select the shipping profile, click on Manage Products, find and select the item I just added, click Save, then back out of settings. Add the next product, then rinse and repeat. Does that seem like the best way to manage that process? There are times after posting an item when you have to wait for the system to “catch up” before the item will appear when searching for it in the shipping profile. It’s also easy to overlook one when adding multiple items rather than stopping after adding each, and as a result products can easily end up in the wrong shipping profiles. It just makes sense to have the ability to select the shipping profile when adding the product (preferred) or assigning collections to each profile. Either method would be a major improvement.
I might be wrong, but it seems as though this fix, from a programming perspective, should be a relatively minor modification to implement. Again, it would be really nice if someone from the Shopify team could respond as to whether or not this is in the que, and if no, why not? It would be a very worthwhile improvement.
Do other users feel the same way? Is this an improvement you would like to see?
Thanks in advance.
