Documentation

Use this task to automatically add variants to the configured delivery profile on product update, if any of the variants have a metafield value matching the configured value. Conversely, variants with a non-existant or mismatched metafield value that are in the configured delivery profile will be removed.

Configure this task with a variant metafield namespace and key separated by a period (e.g. "custom.my_metafield"), the metafield value to match, and the delivery profile ID. Find the delivery profile ID by navigating to the "Shipping and delivery" section of your Shopify settings, and clicking on the "Manage " link of the delivery profile you want to use. The delivery profile ID is the series of numbers at the very end of the URL – if the URL is admin.shopify.com/store/{your_shop}/settings/shipping/profiles/12345, then the delivery profile ID is 123545.

As an initial setup, you can run the task manually to have it review all of the variants in your shop.
