# Manage Shipping Profiles in Commert Admin

In this guide, you’ll learn what shipping profiles are and how to manage them in Commert Admin.

## What is a Shipping Profile?

A shipping profile groups products with similar shipping requirements, allowing you to cater shipping options specifically for those products.

For example, if your store has fragile items that are shipped differently from other products, you can create a "Fragile" shipping profile and associate it with the fragile products. Then, you can [create shipping options](../locations#create-shipping-options) for fragile products, and options for other products.

***

## View Shipping Profiles

To view shipping profiles in your store:

1. Go to Settings → Location & Shipping.
2. In the Shipping Configuration section, click on "Shipping Profiles".

Here, you can see a list of all the shipping profiles you have set up in your store. You can also search, filter, and sort the shipping profiles to find the one you are looking for.
