What’s New at Shopify?

From today, retailers will benefit from a new, unified Shopify Collective shipping profile, which consolidates all Collective products previously within individual supplier shipping profiles.

This simplified shipping profile now allows retailers to live-fetch suppliers' shipping rates, and add them to customers' orders directly at checkout.

Prior to this upgrade, when a retailer imported products from suppliers, a unique shipping profile was created for every individual supplier. Shipping rates were imported together with those products, and any updates made by suppliers didn’t automatically sync to the shipping profiles on the retailer’s store. Updates needed to be made manually.
