Shopify Inventory Locations: Every Product Counted Where It Actually Sits
Knowing what Shopify inventory locations means is the first step; making orders route correctly is the work. We create the locations, assign stock, set fulfilment priority and test an order from each place. From $190, fixed price.

- Stock assigned per product and location
- Fulfilment priority and pickup set

Our track record
450+ Shopify Stores Built Since 2015. Here Is What That Means for Location and Availability Set-up.
Once stock sits in more than one place, a wrong setting sends orders from the wrong door or shows items as available when they are not. We set it up and test the routing before customers meet it.

Who this is for
Shopify Inventory Locations: Who We Work For
Location needs appear as a business grows. Six situations account for most of the product availability & location setup work we see.
You are a good fit if
- You hold or sell stock in more than one place
- You prefer to know the price and the scope in writing
- You can share a stock sheet and location addresses
- You own the store and confirm each location's role
Brands adding a shop to an online store
Online and in-store stock must be counted separately.
Sellers with several warehouses
Orders should leave from the nearest one.
Stores using a dropshipper beside own stock
Some items ship from a supplier.
Owners selling across regions
Shipping origin affects rates and times.
Shops showing wrong availability
Items look in stock when they are not.
Founders short on time
You would rather hand over the stock sheet and review the routing.
Problems solved
Why Multi-Location Stock Gets Confusing
One store with one shelf is easy; every extra location doubles the settings. These are the six problems owners raise most often.
- Stock is on the wrong location.
Counts exist but not where the goods are.
- Orders ship from the wrong place.
Priority was never set.
- Pickup shows the wrong stock.
A shop reads the warehouse count.
- Transfers are untracked.
Moves between sites change nothing in the system.
- Stock-takes are painful.
No file exists to re-count against.
- Shipping origin is wrong.
Rates are calculated from the wrong address.

How Your Location and Availability Set-up Is Delivered, Start to Finish
Six clear steps. Nothing goes live without your approval, and your calculator choices set how long each one runs for the location and availability set-up.
- 1
Brief and asset review
You describe what good location and availability set-up looks like for your store and customers. We write the plan down.
- 2
Choose how we get access
A collaborator request will do, as will working in our Partner account followed by a transfer. We never ask for your password during the location and availability set-up job.
- 3
Map your locations and stock
We list every place that holds stock, agree its role and collect a count per product so we know what belongs where.
- 4
Create, assign and test the routing
We set up the locations, enter counts, set priority and pickup options and then place test orders to see which location fulfils each one.
- 5
Review against the brief and your store
Every location and availability set-up item is compared with the brief, and anything that lands in your store is checked across devices. Anything that is off is corrected before you see it.
- 6
Deliver and hand over
We hand over the location and availability set-up after sign-off with files and written notes. Revision rounds come with the package, with no lock-in.

Inside every project
What Protects Your Store and Your Budget During Product Availability & Location Setup
Six habits keep your store, your brand and your budget safe while we handle the location and availability set-up.
Counts are yours to confirm
We enter the stock figures you supply and flag any that look odd, but the physical count stays your responsibility.
Least access needed
We ask only for the access your location and availability set-up needs, through Shopify's own sharing tools where a store is involved, and remove it when we finish.
Working files are yours
Final and working files for your location and availability set-up are handed over, so another person could use them later.
Checked before you look
Every location and availability set-up item is checked against the brief first, so your review covers taste and wording, not faults.
No promised sales
We make location and availability set-up to help shoppers decide, and we never promise revenue, rankings or reach.
Rights respected
We only use images, fonts, music and text you own or that are properly licensed in your location and availability set-up, and we say which.

Experience since 2015

What we need to get started
What We Need Before We Start Your Location and Availability Set-up
Three ways to give access, then a short list of facts about your location and availability set-up.
Your locations
List each place, its address and its role.
A stock sheet
Share counts per product and per location.
Pickup and delivery rules
Tell us what you offer at each place.
Accept our collaborator request
Tell us your store address and say yes to our access request. The owner can grant what we need for your location and availability set-up and remove us in one click.
Taking over existing work? That is fine
Let us know what exists, and who made it. We review your location and availability set-up first and agree what to keep.
Or share a restricted staff login
A staff account with limited permissions works too for location and availability set-up, though the collaborator route is easier to revoke.
Owner passwords and card details are never requested for your location and availability set-up. You give access through Shopify itself, and it is switched off again when Product Availability & Location Setup is finished.
