Locations
You can add and manage locations where you store or sell products, such as warehouses, retail stores, or pop-ups. A location is any physical place where you sell products, fulfill orders, or stock inventory. Some apps, including dropshipping apps and third-party logistics services, can also be considered locations.
Locations let you do the following:
- Track inventory separately at each physical location
- Fulfill orders from the location closest to your customer
- Process in-person sales at retail locations using Shopify POS
- Integrate with apps for dropshipping or third-party fulfillment
After you add locations, you can configure order fulfillment to control how orders are assigned to locations, and then assign inventory to those locations. You can use order routing rules to automatically assign online orders based on inventory availability and proximity.
The maximum number of locations depends on your store's Shopify subscription plan. If you make sales from physical locations using the Shopify POS app, then you can add a location to your POS device to track your inventory accurately.
