Question 1

Can I have multiple warehouses on Shopify?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can! Multi-location inventory tracking in Shopify is included with most plans, with independent stock tracking at up to 20 locations (Shopify Plus) or fewer at lower plans.

Question 2

What is Shopify order routing in multi-location?

Accepted Answer

It prioritizes the nearest location with stock on hand, reduces splits, and complies with your store’s unique priority ranks to deliver the most efficient fulfillment.

Question 3

Can I move inventory between locations in Shopify?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use the Transfers feature to move stock between warehouses, with tracking for in-transit items that aren’t available for sale until received.

Question 4

How to prevent overselling in Shopify multi-warehouse inventory?

Accepted Answer

Keep track of your stock and control it across all sales channels, ideally in real time. Set safety stock levels. Also, check out apps for multi-channel sellers to help manage discrepancy issues.

Question 5

Available vs. committed inventory: what’s the difference?

Accepted Answer

Available stock is sellable; committed stock has been reserved for orders or transfers. Shopify immediately deducts committed stock to protect against overselling.

Question 6

When should I use a third-party app for managing inventory across multiple locations?

Accepted Answer

For more sophisticated use cases (barcode workflows, multi-channel sync outside of Shopify, or advanced warehouse management), native apps are sufficient for simple multi-warehouse management.
