Sync shipping across shops
Copy one Shopify shop's market shipping (delivery options, rates, conditions, free-shipping thresholds) onto your other shops, compared first and then approved.
On this page
Sync shipping copies one shop’s market shipping — delivery options, rates, conditions and free-shipping thresholds — onto other shops. You compare first and see every change before anything is applied. Sync is in the Dashboard only; it needs at least two Shopify shops in the workspace.
Compare two or more shops
- In the sidebar, open Shop → Sync shipping. You can also click Sync from another shop on Shipping & delivery.
- Under Copy from, choose the shop whose shipping is right.
- Under Copy to, tick the shops to update.
- Click Compare.
For each target shop you see its markets one by one: what the delivery option is Now: and what it will be After sync:, with actions such as Add, Remove or Update. Markets that already match are summed up at the end. If a shop already matches in every market, it says so.
Choose what to apply
- Untick any market you do not want to change on that shop.
- Read the items not copied banner if one shows. It lists parts that have no match on the target shop, for example a market, collection or location that does not exist there, a carrier service that is not connected, or prices in another currency (prices are not converted). Everything else is copied.
- Click Apply to … for one shop, or Apply to all … shops when several are ready.
After you apply
Each target shop gets one change. Shipping sync is Admin only in Approval Settings, and this cannot be relaxed: the change waits on the Approvals page until a member with the Admin role approves it, even when an Admin applied it.
- Sent for approval. Shipping on … hasn’t changed yet. The change is on the Approvals page. See Approve or reject a change.
- Only some markets on … were updated. Shopify took part of the change; check the shop for errors.
When you apply to several shops, a summary shows how many were applied, sent for approval, partly applied or failed.
What you cannot do here
- Both shops must use Shopify’s market-driven shipping. If either still sets shipping with delivery profiles, the shop shows Not on market-driven shipping yet and cannot be synced.
- A market that is still a draft on the shop you copy from is skipped.
- Delivery options sync cannot copy yet are listed so you can set them up by hand.
