Creating a shipping profile for each Supplier Partner

1. 1. Follow the instructions outlined in this help center article:
   2. To charge a customer the rate you agreed upon in proposals:
      1. Go to Shopify "Settings". Click on "Shipping and delivery."
      2. Choose to "Create new profile."
      3. Name the profile"[SupplierBrandName] shipping profile - Canal]." We recommend only oneprofile per supplier.
      4. Add products by searching for your products from this Supplier by name.
      5. Create a shipping zone - most likely only the United States, unless your Supplier agree's to ship elsewhere.
      6. Add rate. This is where you would add the flat rate or free, depending on the agreement in your proposal.
      7. Click ‘Manage products’ and ensure all of that supplier’s products are included in the profile. If you add new products at a later date, you will need to ensure you add them to the existing profile. They will be put into the General profile by default.
      8. Save and you're done!
