Profiles

• A Shipping profile is the relationship between your Shipping groups, Product groups and locations, Zones, Rate and Rate groups, this tells All in one commerce how to calculate the rate for each order.

• In general a profile consists of a Shipping Group

• Each Shipping Group contains one or more Product Groups

• Each Product Group contains one or more Zones

• Each Zone contains one or more Rates or Rate Groups

• If an order does not fall into any profile, they will see no rates at checkout. Similarly if a product does not fall into any profile, when this product is added to the cart, the customer will see no rates either. If you have other rates setup in your Shopify shipping settings, they will continue to be available to your customers.

• You must create your rates, rate groups, product groups and zones first before assigning them to a profile.

• Each order, an order will only belong to a single shipping profile and a single zone, however the products in the cart can be split between multiple product groups depending on how you have set them up.

• Shopify requires a single set of shipping rates for each order, as such your rates need to be blended into a single set of rates should they be split between multiple product groups.
