Assigning inventory to locations

If your store has multiple locations, then the inventory at each location is shown on theInventorypage, the inventory bulk editor, inventory CSV, and the details page of each product.

When youcreate a product, the product is stocked at all locations by default. You can change the list of locations that stock the product and adjust the inventory levels of the product at each location, with the following constraints:

• All products need to be stocked at a minimum of one location.
• You can’t unstock products from locations that have unfulfilled orders or transfers that require inventory of that product.

If you need to update the inventory quantities for a large number of products across locations, then use aCSV file.

Change the list of locations that stock a product

If you stock products at more than one store location, then you can select the locations where you stock a product or variant from its detail page. When you remove a location from the list of locations that stock a product, the inventory quantity at that location is deleted.

If you enableTrack quantityfor a product, then you can track the product quantity for each location where the product is stocked.
