To successfully sell products on Shopify, each product must be linked to a Delivery Profile, which defines how shipping fees are calculated and charged to customers. Without a Delivery Profile, products may appear as unavailable or unsellable on your store. Due to Shopify’s latest policy updates, CJ now supports centralized management of Delivery Profiles for Shopify stores. This helps simplify shipping configuration and reduces the risk of products becoming unavailable because a Delivery Profile was not properly linked. This guide explains how to enable CJ-managed Delivery Profiles, how to configure shipping rates, and how to ensure your products are correctly associated during listing.   Overview: Why Delivery Profiles Matter   After a product is published to Shopify, the CJ-created location must be associated with a Delivery Profile.A Delivery Profile can be understood as a shipping template that determines how much customers pay for shipping based on regions and rates.   Previously: Delivery Profiles were created and managed directly in the Shopify admin Sellers had to manually link CJ locations to the correct Delivery Profile Now: CJ can manage Delivery Profiles on your behalf This provides a more consistent and error-free shipping setup, aligned with Shopify’s latest requirements   Step 1: Store Delivery Profile Master Switch   In the CJ system, you will find a Delivery Profile switch in the Shopify store list.     Switch Rules Explained Stores created after Jan 19, 2026 (20:00 Beijing Time) The switch is enabled by default It cannot be turned off Delivery Profiles must be managed by CJ Tooltip message: According to Shopify's latest policy, newly authorized stores require the application to manage the Delivery Profile itself, and disabling it is not currently supported. Stores created before Jan 19, 2026 (20:00 Beijing Time) The switch can be enabled or disabled manually   If the Switch Cannot Be Enabled If the switch is disabled and cannot be turned on: You need to reauthorize your Shopify store After reauthorization, CJ will gain permission to manage Delivery Profiles Tooltip message: You need to reauthorize the store to enable this switch. Please reauthorize. If the switch can be toggled freely, your store already has Delivery Profile management permission.   Step 2: Managing Delivery Profiles After Enabling the Switch   Once the master switch is enabled, CJ can maintain shipping configurations for your Shopify store.     Step 2.1: Access Delivery Profile Management Go to:Action → Store Delivery Profiles Click Sync the latest Delivery profiles to fetch the most recent data from Shopify Delivery Profiles created directly in Shopify can be viewed but cannot be edited in CJ at this time   Step 2.2: Add a New Delivery Profile Click Add Delivery Profile to create a new shipping configuration.   Scenario 1: No Delivery Profile Linked to a CJ Location If the system detects that a CJ-created location is not linked to any Delivery Profile: A dialog will appear asking whether you want CJ to automatically create a free-shipping Delivery Profile     If you click YES: CJ will generate a Delivery Profile for all store markets Shipping price will be set to 0 You will be asked to confirm After confirmation, the profile will be created and synced to Shopify automatically     Scenario 2: Manual Delivery Profile Setup     If you choose “No, I need to edit it myself”, you will enter the manual configuration page. You can configure: Profile Name Included Locations Must be CJ-created locations One location can only belong to one Delivery Profile Shipping Regions Select from all countries available in your store’s markets Regions can be grouped for easier management   Click Next Step to continue. Step 2.3: Configure Shipping Rates The system will prompt: This location only supports flat-rate shipping at the moment (precise rate calculation will be supported in the future). Do you want to continue?     Click Continue to proceed. On the configuration page: Enter a Custom Rate Name (visible to customers) Enter the Price Optional: Add weight-based conditions Weight unit: grams Weight ranges must not overlap If not enabled, the rate applies as a flat price After completing all required fields, click Confirm and Sync Platform.The Delivery Profile will be created and synced to your Shopify admin.     Step 3: View CJ-Managed Delivery Profiles in Shopify     You can verify the profiles created by CJ directly in Shopify: Shopify Admin → Settings → Shipping and delivery Here, you will see the Delivery Profiles maintained by CJ.   Step 4: Linking Delivery Profiles When Listing Products       Once the switch is enabled, associating products with a Delivery Profile becomes mandatory during listing.   Single or Bulk Product Listing A Delivery Profile dropdown will appear on the product listing page If no Delivery Profile matches the CJ location: The dropdown will be empty A prompt will appear: No matching Delivery Profile found. Please add one in Store Delivery Profile Management. If a matching profile exists, it will be selected by default   Template Listing     When using listing templates: The system will check whether a Delivery Profile is bound to the template If not, the listing will fail with the error: The template lacks the Delivery Profile. Please edit the template to add it and try again. To fix this: Edit the template Bind a Delivery Profile Retry the listing   *Linking Shopify Products to Delivery Profiles Containing CJ Location     Once the switch is enabled, Shopify store products associated with CJ products must be linked to a Delivery Profile containing the CJ-created location.   Option 1: Add the CJ Location to an Existing Shopify Delivery Profile   Applicable scenario: All store locations share a single delivery profile created in the Shopify backend. Steps: 1. Go to Shopify backend and open the existing delivery profile.     2. Click to add a location.     3. Select the CJ-created location and save the profile.     4. Return to the CJ product association page and click the update button on the profile dropdown. The dropdown will now include the CJ location.     Option 2: Create a Delivery Profile in CJ Including the CJ Location   Applicable scenario: The store has no delivery profile yet or you want a separate profile specifically for CJ. Steps: Follow the steps in section 2.2 of this guide to create a default delivery profile in CJ. Return to the CJ product association page and click the update button on the profile dropdown. The dropdown will now include the CJ location.   If you need any help during the process, don’t hesitate to reach out to CJ online support. We’re here to assist you at any time. Additional CJ support context for How to Manage Shopify Delivery Profiles on CJ? Q: What should sellers compare before choosing a CJ shipping method? A: Compare shipping method, delivery time, shipping cost, destination country, and platform logistics requirements before fulfillment. For bulk or platform-specific shipping changes, confirm that the selected shipping method matches the store order, warehouse, and carrier rules. This helps avoid delayed fulfillment, incorrect labels, or shipping methods that do not satisfy the marketplace requirement.

Before tracking numbers can be synced to Shopify, you need to select Shopify or CJdropshipping as your product inventory manager. Otherwise, your orders cannot be fulfilled by CJ. In other words, due to the Shopify policies, if any other platform rather than CJdropshipping or Shopify has been selected for order fulfillment in your Shopify admin, tracking numbers will not be synced when you're trying to have CJ fulfill your orders. You can have an overview of which orders have been imported to CJ and which tracking numbers are not synced to your Shopify store by installing the CJ Chrome extension:   Even though you picked a third-party platform as your product inventory manager at first, we can still fulfill your orders from Shopify stores and the tracking number will be synchronized to Shopify as it used to be. To free things from trouble, a more recommended way is to select CJdropshipping as your product inventory manager on the Shopify management system as it is and will be more stable and assured. So, how to let CJ become your inventory manager?   Main Steps: 1. List and find the product in your store; 2. Select the variants to edit; 3. Go to Inventory > Inventory Managed by > choose "CJdropshipping" ; 4. Click "Save" to complete it.   General steps: 1. List and find the product in your store. a. On CJ, click "View it on store" when you list it successfully.   b. On Shopify, click "All Products" to find the product.   2. Select the variants to edit.   3. Go to Inventory > Inventory Managed by and choose "CJdropshipping" (in lowercase).   4.  Click "Save" to finish it. Please do not hesitate to submit a ticket or consult an online agent in the chatroom if you have any questions.  Additional CJ support context for Why is My Tracking Number Not Synced to Shopify? Q: What should Shopify sellers check when CJ products or orders do not sync? A: Tracking sync depends on whether the order has a valid tracking number, the store authorization is active, and the carrier update can be pushed back to the store. Use Sync Now after confirming the CJ order status and carrier tracking information. If the tracking number still does not appear in the store, check store authorization, order mapping, and whether the platform accepts the carrier update.

Shipping is undoubtedly significant for a business, especially for cross-border businesses. This article introduces how to set up a shipping formula in a Shopify store. To start shipping, please complete the following tasks on Shopify:   1. Set up your shipping rates and methods; 2. Add product weights; 3. Choose your preferred package type; 4. Get free package material; 5. Print a test shipping label.   1. Set up your shipping rates and methods. a. Add and manage your shipping locations; By default, the original address that is entered when a Shopify account is created is added as a location. This location is also set to be able to fulfill orders. Make sure that any other locations that you plan to ship from, as well as any apps that fulfill products on your behalf, are added as locations. Note: Before you can use shipping profiles to charge shipping rates based on product and shipping origin, you might need to activate multi-origin shipping.  b. Set up your shipping rates; When deciding what to charge buyers for shipping, you need to consider the following options: Exact shipping costs: Charge buyers the same thing that carriers like USPS or Canada Post charge to ship. Flat rate shipping: Charge fixed shipping rates based on order value or weight. For example, charge $5 to ship anywhere in the United States.  Free shipping: Offer free shipping on all orders or set free shipping rules. For example, offer free shipping on orders over $150. Unexpected costs at the checkout are the main reason why buyers don't complete purchases. The most common unexpected costs are for shipping. Make your shipping costs clear on your home or product page to avoid surprises at the checkout. c. Setting up shipping zones. A shipping zone is a group of countries or regions that have the same shipping rates. For example, if your business has a warehouse in Germany that ships to anywhere in Europe for the same flat rate, then you can create a shipping zone that includes all the European countries and charge that same shipping fee to all your European customers. After you've set up shipping zones, you can choose the shipping methods. You can offer several shipping methods for a zone so your customers can choose from a range of delivery times and shipping costs at checkout. 2. Add product weights. Shipping costs are calculated based on the weight and dimensions of your shipment. To calculate accurate shipping costs, add weights to all of the products that you will be shipping. If you’re unsure how much your products weigh, then learn about common product weights or purchase a scale.  3. Choose your preferred package type. If your store is outside of the United States and Canada, then you can add only one preferred package type. If your store is in the United States or Canada, then you can save the dimensions and weights of your preferred package types on the Shipping settings page in your Shopify admin. 4. Get free packing material. Many carriers offer free packaging to use with specific shipping services. Although there is no cost for the packaging, you might need to create a free account with the carrier so that they can send the packaging to you. 5. Print a test shipping label. If a customer pays for shipping, whether for the exact cost or flat rate, then you will receive the payment along with the rest of the funds for their order. When you print shipping labels through Shopify, you will be charged the cost of the label on your Shopify bill.   All the specific steps of setting up your shipping formula could be found in the Shopify Help Center. With any uncertainties when you are setting up your store, you could get support from the Shopify group. CJ support team will also be here to help with your dropshipping business, just contact us anytime. Additional CJ support context for How to Set Up Shipping Formula in Shopify Store? Q: What should sellers compare before choosing a CJ shipping method? A: CJ shipping costs do not automatically appear in Shopify checkout. Configure Shopify shipping zones and rates in Shopify Admin > Settings > Shipping and delivery, then decide whether to include CJ shipping cost in the product price or show it as a separate Shopify shipping rate. CJ's product listing recommendation can estimate cost, but Shopify checkout shipping still needs to be configured in Shopify.
