Fig. 5.1: Shipping Profiles, Zones & Rates

In Tribe, shipping can be defined at two levels: 

  1. Order Level Shipping(Default Profile): All the products created in the system are linked by default with order level shipping (Default Profile). When a customer places an order which includes products linked with this profile, the system will apply one shipping rate for the complete set of products. (Default profile cannot be deleted or created). 
  2. Item Level Shipping(Custom Profiles): Admin can create multiple shipping profiles and link products to them. When a customer places an order that includes products linked with this profile, the shipping rates defined will be applied on each product (item) separately. (Unique items are counted and not on individual product quantity) 

Important Points: 

  • By default, all products added in the system will be linked with an order level shipping profile that is already created within the system. The admin cannot delete this profile or change its name. 
  • The admin must make sure to define rates/charges to be applied in the default order level shipping profile. If the charges are not mentioned, the orders will be placed for products linked with this profile but with zero ‘0’ shipping charges. 
  • A product will be linked to only one shipping profile at a time. 
  • If the admin defines an item level shipping profile and links it with a particular product/item, that product will automatically be removed from the order level shipping profile. 

Define Rates for Order Level Shipping Profile 

The first step of the admin should be to define zones and charges to be applied for products linked with order level shipping profile (named as ‘General’). The name of this profile cannot be edited to avoid any confusions. By default, all the products (catalog) will be linked to order level shipping profile. Click on the ‘Edit’ icon provided to the right of this profile. The admin will be redirected to the shipping profile form as shown in figure below.
