Before you set up Special Shipping Groups, you must set-up regions first - Check out this article for a guide on how to set up Regions.

Special shipping groups allows you to set up and add a special shipping amount to customers orders, when they put certain product(s) in their baskets that might require a different or more costly shipping method.

Special shipping groups are found in your settings, in the Shipping > Rates.

When you open Rates in Shipping, you will be met by this window, where you can add Special Shipping Groups:

Start by clicking the green button Add Special Shipping Groups

Now your screen wil expand with these fields:

Fill out the fields:

Group name: Give this Special Shipping group a name. E.g. this could either suggest the products within the special shipping group or the Region.

Add Shipping Regions: Here you choose for which region you are settings up this Shipping group for. You can also choose multiple regions, but for this example we are using only Denmark.
