Setting shipping profiles on collection level?

Technical Q&A
1

Hi,

We are launching a new type of product, which has special requirements for shipping. Hence we created a second shipping profile, but it seems you can only manually add products one-by-one to this profile.

Would it be possible to set a rule at collection-level to which products this new shipping profile applies? Or apply this new profile as default for a collection?

Thanks.

This can be done by Bulk Editor:

  • Go to Settings > Shipping and Delivery

  • Click on the second shipping profile

  • Click on the “Add products” button

  • Use the search/filter bar to find products by tag, type, or collection

  • Select multiple products and add all the products in one click

By following above, you can add multiple products to newly created shipping module.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I am aware of this process, but since our store has 3.000+ SKU’s I’d interested if there is a way to do this on a collection-level instead? Or via some rules.

Thanks.

Shopify currently does not support assigning shipping profiles by collection or automated rules. To achieve this automatically, you can use the Shopify Admin API or GraphQL API to assign products to a shipping profile, This is the only real “rule-based” solution that can scale and auto-assign by collection logic but it requires dev work.
