Version 2 (beta): Create a shipping cost product group

Product groups help you group products that share the same shipping costs.

Create product group lets you group products that share the same shipping cost, instead of setting shipping costs for each product individually. This matters most when an order contains multiple different products: TrueProfit calculates the shipping cost for each product in the group based on its quantity, then adds them together to get the order's total shipping cost.

So if several of your products follow the same shipping rate from your supplier, grouping them lets you manage and update shipping costs faster, and ensures TrueProfit calculates shipping correctly for multi product orders.

How to create a product group

Step 1: Click Create product group (top right).
Step 2: Name the group.
Step 3: Add the products that share the same shipping cost.
Step 4: Add the shipping cost for each shipping zone.

How shipping zones work inside a product group

  • Default = Worldwide (all countries).
    If you don’t add any specific countries/regions, all countries will use the Default shipping cost.

  • If you add a specific country/region with a different shipping cost:

    • That country/region uses the value you set

    • All other countries use the Default value

Notes

  • To change the calculation method (by weight or by quantity), you must update it in the Settings section (not inside product groups).

  • Add a new shipping zone if needed (so you can set different costs by region).

How TrueProfit calculates shipping for multiple products

When an order includes multiple products, shipping is calculated based on the quantity rules you set in the product group.

Example

You create a product group with these products:

  • Snowboard

  • Gift Card

  • Ski Wax

You then set quantity-based shipping like this:

Quantity

Total cost

1 unit

$10

2 units

$15

3 units

$20

This is how TrueProfit calculates shipping cost

  • 1 Snowboard + 1 Gift Card + 1 Ski Wax → $10 + $10 + $10 = $30

  • 2 Snowboards + 1 Gift Card → $15 + $10 = $25

  • 3 Ski Wax → $20

Each product is calculated separately based on its quantity, then all shipping costs are added together.

Edit product group

From the main view of the shipping cost page:

  1. Click the 3 dots menu

  2. Select Edit product group

What you can do here

  • Edit the group name

  • Edit shipping zones and costs

  • Add more products to the group or remove products from the group

  • Delete the group

Tip: To filter products faster:

  • Click Products

  • Choose in this group or not in this group
