Set up Multi-Location Inventory

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.

Step 1: 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 for the complete guide to set up a location.

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

Step 2: Set up new location

If you have more than one location, you can continue add more locations by clicking Add location and follow the same steps.

Inventory Tracking

When adding new location, there’s one more section where you can select inventory tracking method:

Share inventory with primary location - Primary location is sharing its inventory with this location. There’s no need to set up a separate inventory for this new location.

Track inventory independently - This location have a separate inventory from primary location. You’ll need to proceed with step 4 to set up inventory for this new location.

💡When adding the 2nd location, this section is hidden and ‘Share inventory with primary location’ is selected by default. To make changes, you can Save the location first and click Edit.

Step 3: 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:

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