Set up custom Profile Conditions that, when met, automatically assign your products to pre-defined Shipping Profiles, giving you more accurate shipping rates at checkout.
Learn more about Shopify’s Shipping Profiles feature here.
Add A Profile Condition
1) Click Profile Conditions on the main menu.
2) Click the Add Profile Condition button.
3) Enter a Title for your Profile Condition – e.g. ‘Shirts’
Profile Condition Titles are not visible to your customers.
4) Select the Status of your Profile Condition.
When Status is set to ‘Inactive’, the Profile Condition will be ignored when assigning products.
5) Set the Priority to be given to your Profile Condition by typing the priority number into the field or by clicking the Up/Down Arrows.
Higher priority will be given to lower numbers – e.g. ‘1’ has the highest priority.
Conditions
1) Select whether All Conditions, Any Conditions, or No Conditions must be met for your Profile Condition to return true.
2) Under Conditions, select the Condition type from the drop-down list – e.g. ‘Tag’.
3) Select whether the Condition type Equals or Does Not Equal the Value.
4) Enter a Value for the Condition type – e.g. ‘Shirt’. Multiple values can be separate with a comma – e.g. ‘Shirt, Shirts’.
To add more Conditions, click the Add Another Condition button, then repeat steps 1 through 4 for Conditions.
Shipping Profile
1) Select the Shipping Profile that a product will be assigned to if the Profile Condition (or Conditions) returns true.
If Profile Conditions are not met – or if Profile Condition status is set to ‘Inactive’ – products will automatically be assigned to your Default Shipping Profile. To learn how to set your Default Shipping Profile, click here.
Shipping Profiles are determined by your Shopify settings. To learn how to edit your Shipping Profiles, click here.

Adjust The Priority
Priorities let you control which Profile Condition takes precedence when a product meets two or more Profile Conditions. You can quickly adjust the priority of each of your Profile Conditions.
1) Click Profile Conditions on the main menu.
2) Click the Adjust Priority button.
3) Manually drag and drop your existing Profile Conditions into the desired order.
4) Click the Save button to save your priority sequence.
Manually adjusting the priority will override and update the numerical Priority setting assigned to your Profile Condition in the Edit Profile Conditions page.
Similarly, changing the numerical value in the Edit Profile Conditions page will override and automatically adjust the Priority.
Activate Profile Conditions
Each time you set up – or change – a Profile Condition, you must run a bulk update to sync changes to your Profile Conditions. If you do not run a bulk update, any additions or changes you make to Profile Conditions will not take effect and the automation won’t run as expected.
