Create per product shipping rules with our new Delivery Profiles API
Tools
Effective June 19, 2019
Per product shipping has come to Shopify. Through Shipping Profiles, merchants can group products together to specify custom shipping rates for them. Apps can leverage the Delivery Profiles API to read and modify these profiles.
Within Shopify, merchants can now set up shipping profiles with rates they want to offer to customers at checkout. Rates can be customized for specific variants originating from specific locations, and shipping to specific zones. Shopify then ensures that the correct rates are surfaced to customers at checkout.
Through the Delivery Profiles API, apps now have write access to a shop’s shipping settings. This enables you to manage everything from profiles to rates directly via the API, and automate what was previously a manual process.
