# 1. Introduction

EasyStore’s Multi-Location Inventory allows you to manage and track stock across multiple locations in one dashboard. Each location can be the fulfillment point or ship-from location for different sales channels, like online store, POS locations and marketplaces. You can easily transfer stock between locations and view their inventory report.

# 2. Set up primary location

Primary location is the main location that is responsible in fulfilling online orders. It can be any location, such as your head office, warehouse, or a retail store — as long as it is the main location that will ship and deduct stock for online orders. It should be the first location to set up.

Go to Settings > Locations > **Add location**. Click [here](https://support.easystore.co/en/article/enable-self-pickup-as-shipping-option-6pf8tu/) for the complete guide to set up a location.

Primary location will always be at the top of your locations list, with a green 'Primary' label.

###### Track inventory independently

For example item A you have stock = 5, you can separate the inventory as below:

* HQ = 2 units
* Outlet = 3 units

Since this location have a separate inventory from primary location, you’ll need to proceed to [step 4](#1-step-3-set-up-inventory-for-new-location) to set up inventory for this new location.
---

###### Share inventory with primary location

For example item A you have stock = 5, the inventory is set at primary location and shared with this location:

* HQ & Outlet total = 5 units (shared)

This location’s inventory will follow primary location’s inventory, there’s no need to set up a separate inventory for this new location.

3.3 For **Online fulfillment** section, it is being turned off by default. To understand how it works, refer to step 5.3 below.

# 4. Set up inventory for new location

If your new location isn't sharing inventory with primary location, it needs its own inventory to sell. There are 2 methods to set up inventory for new location:

1. **Manually add stock quantity** to product inventory in product details page.
