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   Summary Enabling CJ-managed Delivery Profiles helps Shopify sellers: Stay compliant with Shopify’s latest shipping policies Reduce listing errors and prevent products from becoming unavailable Simplify shipping configuration across multiple markets By following the steps above, you can ensure your products are always sellable and that shipping fees are calculated correctly.   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.

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.
