Warehouses

2 min

Warehouses represent the physical locations from which your business stores inventory, fulfills orders, and offers pickup or delivery services. Configuring warehouses accurately ensures that inventory levels, shipping origins, and fulfillment routing reflect your real-world operations. Common scenarios include:

Multi-location inventory – Define a separate warehouse for each physical location (for example, Hanoi store, London store, New York store) so that inventory is tracked and allocated per site.

Fulfillment center designation – Mark locations that ship outgoing orders as fulfillment centers so the system routes orders to the correct dispatch point.

Click-and-collect support – Enable the pickup location flag on stores that offer in-store pickup so customers can select those locations at checkout.

Delivery location routing – Flag warehouses that accept inbound deliveries from suppliers, supporting inventory receiving workflows.

Primary warehouse – Designate one warehouse as primary to serve as the default fulfillment source when no other routing rule applies.

Go to Settings > Warehouses. The Warehouses list page displays all configured warehouse locations and provides controls to create and manage them.

Create – Opens the Create Warehouse form to define a location. See the following section.

Checkbox column – Selects one or more rows, typically for bulk actions.

Name column – Displays the name of each warehouse as a clickable link (for example, Hanoi store, London store, Tokyo store). Clicking the name opens the record for viewing or editing. Names that exceed the column width are truncated with an ellipsis.

Code column – Displays the unique programmatic identifier for each warehouse (for example, hanoisstore, londonstore, tokyostore).

Is Active column – A checkmark indicates the warehouse is active and available for use in fulfillment and inventory operations.

Is Fulfillm... column – A checkmark indicates the warehouse is designated as a fulfillment center for outgoing shipments. In this screenshot, Hanoi store and Stockholm are fulfillment centers.

Is Deliver... column – A checkmark indicates the warehouse accepts inbound deliveries. All visible warehouses have this enabled.

Is Pickup... column – A checkmark indicates the warehouse supports in-store customer pickup. All visible warehouses have this enabled.

Sort toggle (∨) – Changes the sort column or direction when clicked.

Row action menu (⋮) – A context menu on each row exposing record-level actions such as Edit and Delete.
