Locations in Shopper represent physical places where you store your inventory. This could be warehouses, retail stores, or any other location where you keep products.
Why Use Multiple Locations?
Managing inventory across multiple locations allows you to:
- Track stock levels at different warehouses
- Fulfill orders from the nearest location
- Manage inventory for physical retail stores
- Keep accurate stock counts across your business
Accessing Locations
- Click on Settings in the sidebar
- Select Inventories from the settings menu

Setting a Default Location
One location must be set as the default. This location will be used:
- As the primary inventory source

Keep your location information accurate, especially addresses, as they may be used for shipping calculations and customer communications.
