How to Fill Shopify Requires shipping for Digital and Physical Products

Task

One CSV contains physical products and digital items. Physical products need true; digital, service, and download items need false.

Short answer

Create Requires shipping: default to true, and set false for digital, service, or download.

How to Do It in Eofferix

Method 1: How to Do It in Eofferix with Regular Expressions

Open the settings of the output Requires shipping column.
The click is on the settings icon of the output Requires shipping column.
In Transformations, the first rule sets true; the second checks product type and changes digital items to false.
The Transformations block shows the full rule chain for this case.
Save the column settings and go to the Export step.

Method 2: How to Do It in Eofferix with Substring Search

Open the settings of the output Requires shipping column.

In Transformations, replace the regular expression with separate rules for each text marker.

If the source column contains longer phrases, get the same result without a regular expression: add several rules with Contains substring, one rule for each marker.

Order	What to check	Condition	Action
1	Current value	Any	Replace with true
2	product_kind	Contains substring digital	Replace with false
3	product_kind	Contains substring service	Replace with false
4	product_kind	Contains substring download	Replace with false

Screenshot of substring-search rules for the Requires shipping column — In the second method, each text marker uses `Contains substring`; the numeric `1` marker uses an exact comparison.

Save the column settings and go to the Export step.
