Managing Shipping Profiles in ShipWorks

Shipping Profiles allow you to create and save sets of your most commonly used shipping defaults. Shipping Profiles can then be easily applied to a single shipment or to a batch of shipments. For example, you could have a Shipping Profile that applies an expedited shipping service, weight, insurance, dimensions, signature required, and more, all with just a couple of mouse clicks, a keyboard shortcut or even by scanning a custom barcode.

This article covers how to open the Manage Profile screen along with the information about the dialog and buttons of the screen.
