Shipping Overview : Shipping Profiles Vs Per-Product Shipping

Last updated on May 5, 2026

We know that every business is different, so we have tried to accommodate most shipping needs with flexible options. You can manage shipping either through Shipping Profiles (store-wide settings) or Per-Product Shipping (specific to individual products).

1. Shipping Profiles

Shipping Profiles allow you to set up store-wide shipping rules. You can use them to:

  • Free Shipping – Offer free delivery for certain items or orders.
  • Collection – Allow customers to collect items themselves instead of paying for shipping.
  • Custom Shipping Options – Create multiple shipping rates, including:
    • Per-Item Shipping – Charge shipping for each item individually.
    • Collective Shipping – Charge a single shipping fee for multiple items in the same order.
    • Reduced Rate for Additional Items – Offer discounted shipping when customers buy multiple items.

Shipping Profiles are ideal for vendors who want consistent shipping rules across multiple products.

2. Per-Product Shipping

Per-Product Shipping is set within individual product listings:

  • Set unique shipping rates for a specific item.
  • Offer reduced-rate shipping for additional quantities of that item.

This option is product-specific rather than store-wide, giving you flexibility for items with special shipping requirements.
