How do I set up shipping with Shopify?

Shopify sellers can choose from two shipping setup options, either publish the Printful Enterprise rates to Shopify via Printful Enterprise's shipping profiles, or create custom shipping profiles on Shopify (e.g., free shipping).

In this article:

• Publish the Printful Enterprise shipping rates to Shopify
• Set custom shipping rates (e.g., free shipping)

Publish the Printful Enterprise shipping rates to Shopify

The easiest option for Shopify sellers is to publish the Printful Enterprise flat rates directly to Shopify. This ensures that the shipping rates charged to your customers align with the rates you pay for fulfillment, eliminating the need for any additional setup steps.

Additionally, if your store’s currency differs from United States Dollars (USD), rest assured that Shopify will automatically convert the shipping rates to match your store’s currency.

Set custom shipping rates (e.g., free shipping)

You also have the option to set custom shipping rates for some or all of your products. This will be required if:

• You want to offer free shipping (shipping will need to be included in the product price)
• You sell product bundles
• You want to have greater control over the shipping rates your customers see

To set up custom rates, follow these steps:

1. In Shopify, go to Settings → Shipping and delivery → Create custom profile.
2. Select Printful (App) as the location, add shipping zones, and set rates for them.

To publish products from Printful Enterprise using your custom profile:

1. Navigate to My Products in Printful Enterprise and click on the product.
2. Click Edit under the Shipping section and select your custom profile from the drop-down menu. 
3. Go down to Publishing settings and ensure that the checkbox for Shipping profile is marked.
4. Click Publish to sync the changes with your store.

Note that in Printful Enterprise, you will still be charged shipping costs as usual.

If you would like this shipping profile to be your default profile in Printful Enterprise moving forward, please adjust your store’s shipping settings in the Publishing preferences tab.
