Shopify Locations

Overview

Shopify Locations is a feature that allows you to manage and track inventory across multiple physical locations. It helps you to fulfill orders from the closest or most appropriate location, track inventory levels, and manage stock transfers between locations. It’s especially useful if you have a brick-and-mortar presence as well as an online store.

This article explains how to set up and download Shopify Locations in Sellercloud. Shopify requires inventory tracking and inventory updates to include a Location ID, so Sellercloud has an easy-to-use feature to download them and them to your desired warehouses.

Prerequisites

First, you must create and configure Shopify locations on your site so you can then download them into Sellercloud. Set up your locations in Shopify by following these instructions.

After you integrate Sellercloud with your Shopify site and create your Shopify Locations, you should download them into Sellercloud.

Note that you will need to enable the setting Enable Shopify Locations in Sellerclud prior to the setup. You can access it by navigating to Settings > Company Settings > Website > Sellercloud Integrated Website > Shopify General.

Download Shopify Locations

The Shopify locations can be downloaded into Sellercloud in a few simple steps. Following the initial import, you can also view your current Shopify Locations and update/re-download them into Sellercloud as necessary by using the same path.

1. Go to Settings > Companies > Manage Companies.
2. Open a company > Toolbox > Website > Sellercloud Integrated website > Shopify Locations.
3. Click the arrow icon to Re-Download Locations.
4. If the Shopify locations are downloaded successfully, you will see a message show up on your screen.

Map Location to Sellercloud Warehouses

After you bring the locations into Sellercloud, you must map each of the active ones to a warehouse in Sellercloud. This mapping will determine which warehouse’s available inventory is sent for which location and prevent errors when updating and tracking inventory. Note that if the warehouse is unsellable and does not need to be sent to Shopify, you do not have to map the warehouse.

You should map Shopify locations 1:1 with your sellable warehouses in Sellercloud. If not, Shopify may reject inventory updates and tracking updates.
To map Shopify locations to your Sellercloud warehouses:

1. Navigate to Settings > Open a company > Toolbox > Shopify Locations.
2. Click Edit.
3. In the Channel Warehouse Code dropdown, choose your desired warehouse selection.
4. Click Save.

Replenishable Products

Sellercloud supports sending inventory updates for replenishable products to Shopify. However, you need to make sure you have the correct setup for this to be a seamless workflow. If you have Replenishable products in your Catalog, make sure you enable the setting Limit replenishable qty to one location along with Use Shopify Locations. This is necessary because Replenishable Inventory is not linked to a specific Warehouse, so without the setting, there will be no Location ID in the inventory feed, and Shopify will reject it.

1. Navigate to Settings > Company Settings > Choose a Company.
2. Toolbox > Website > Sellercloud Integrated website > Shopify General.
3. Click Edit.
4. Enable the setting Limit replenishable qty to one location.
5. Choose a value in the Limit to Location dropdown.
6. Click Save.
