What Are Warehouses?
Warehouses are used alongside Inventory to:
-
Manage stock level settings
-
Set minimum stock amounts
-
Enable live stock updates as orders are placed, cancelled, or refunded
Example:
-
Warehouse A (fulfilled by you directly) may have items in stock.
-
Warehouse B (a back-up warehouse) may have a different stock status for the same product.

Click the storefront you want to manage.

In the Storefront tab, scroll to the bottom to the Warehouses list.

The warehouse at the top of the list will be used first to fulfill orders.

This priority determines which warehouse’s inventory is drawn down before the others.
Deleting a Warehouse

Click the trash icon next to the warehouse you wish to remove.
(You cannot delete a warehouse currently assigned to a storefront — remove assignments first.)
