Creation: Click "Add shipping class" to define groups like "Bulky" or "Oversized." Add a slug and description.

Product Assignment: Inside the Product Data box (Shipping tab), select the correct class from the dropdown menu.

Variable Products: For products with variations (e.g., sizes or weights), open the Variations tab and assign shipping classes individually to each variant.
