Deliveries from Multiple Warehouses in a Shopify Store

Yes, the Shipit Shopify Multi Location add-on is a paid feature.

The price of the add-on is $10 per month.

Yes.
To create warehouse-specific rules for shipping methods, Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) must be enabled in your Shopify store.

Before configuring Shipit, the following must be set up in Shopify:

• Warehouses (Locations) have been created in Shopify settings

• Products have been assigned to the correct inventory locations

• Product Collections have been created to control shipping methods

Adding a location

You can add a location in the Shopify Admin. After that, your inventory will be available by default for online orders at all new locations.

Note! When you add a location, new products are stocked at that location with a default inventory level of 0. You can edit inventory levels by going to Products > Inventory in the Shopify Admin, selecting a location, and editing the variants. If you are making a large inventory update, use the bulk editor or a CSV file. You can’t remove all inventory from locations that have pending orders or transfers.

Instructions for adding a warehouse / branch / location

1. In the Shopify Admin, go to Settings > Locations.

2. In the All locations section, click Add location.

3. In the Location details section, add the location name and address:

   • Under Name, click Add.

     • Enter the location name and click Done.

   • Under Address, click Add.

     • Enter the location address and click Save.

4. Optional: If you don’t want this location’s inventory to be used for online orders, you can disable it in the settings.

   • Turn off This location’s inventory is available for fulfilling online orders by switching the toggle to OFF.

   • This setting is ON by default for all new locations.

5. Click Save.

Shopify Locations

In Shopify, products and their inventory levels are managed by location (Locations). To ensure that shipping and inventory management work correctly, products must be assigned to the correct locations in Shopify.

Below are three different ways to add products to inventory locations.

---

Add a product to locations from the product page (Products)

This method is suitable for editing individual products or variants.

1. Open Products in the Shopify Admin

2. Click the product you want to edit

3. If the product has variants, select the correct variant

4. Go to Inventory

5. Make sure Inventory will be stocked at is set to Multiple locations

6. Click Edit locations

7. Select the locations where the product is stocked

8. Save the changes by clicking Save

9. If needed, set inventory quantities per location

Note: Make sure Track quantity is enabled for the product so that inventory levels can be managed.

Add products to inventory locations from the Inventory view

This method is suitable for managing inventory levels when you have multiple products.

1. Go to Products → Inventory in the Shopify Admin

2. Find the product or variant from the dropdown

3. Select the location

4. Enter the inventory quantity for that location

5. Save the changes

This view is especially useful for updating inventory levels across different locations.

Add products to inventory locations using Bulk edit

Bulk editing is the most efficient way to assign or update multiple products or variants at once.

1. Go to Products in the Shopify Admin

2. Select the products you want to edit (check them from the list)

3. Click Edit products

This opens the Bulk editor.

4. In the top right corner, click Columns

5. Select Inventory

6. Check the locations you want to edit

7. Close the columns menu

You will now see separate columns for each selected inventory location for every product or variant.

8. Enter the inventory quantities per location

9. Save the changes by clicking Save

Notes:

• Bulk editing works at the variant level if the product has variants

• The product must be stocked at at least one location

Optional: prevent a location from fulfilling online orders

If you don’t want inventory from a specific location to be used for fulfilling online store orders:

1. Go to Settings → Locations in the Shopify Admin

2. Select the desired location

3. Disable “Inventory at this location is available to fulfill online orders”

4. Switch the toggle to OFF

This setting is ON by default for all new locations.

Summary

Assigning products to inventory locations in Shopify can be done in three ways:

• Through an individual product

• From the Inventory view

• Using Bulk edit when managing many products

Once inventory locations are correctly set up in Shopify, Shipit can route orders from the correct warehouse.

Product Collections

Product Collections allow you to group products based on criteria such as warehouse, shipping method, or other logic. Collections are often used to control shipping methods and play a key role in Multi Location setups.

Create an automatic Product Collection (recommended)

An automatic collection updates itself when products meet the defined conditions. This is the recommended approach in most cases.

How to create an automatic collection

1. Go to Products → Collections in the Shopify Admin

2. Click Create collection

3. Enter a name for the collection (Title)

   • Example: Warehouse Lahti

4. Select Collection type: Smart

5. Define the conditions:

   Choose either:

   • All conditions, or

   • Any condition

6. Add conditions that determine which products are included in the collection, for example:

   • Product tag is Lahti

   • Product type is Warehouse product

   • Vendor is Company Ltd

7. Click Save

The collection will update automatically whenever products are modified.

Create a manual Product Collection

A manual collection is useful when you want to decide exactly which products belong to the collection.

How to create a manual collection

1. Go to Products → Collections in the Shopify Admin

2. Click Create collection

3. Enter a name for the collection (Title)

4. Select Collection type: Manual

5. Click Save

---

Add products to a manual collection

1. Open the created collection

2. Click Browse

3. Select the products from the list

4. Save the changes

Add products to a Product Collection from the product page

You can also assign a product to a collection directly from the product settings.

1. Go to Products

2. Select the product

3. Find the Collections section on the right side of the product page

4. Add the product to the desired collection

5. Click Save

This works especially well with manual collections.

Best practices for naming Product Collections

We recommend naming collections clearly so they are easy to use in shipping rules:

• Warehouse Lahti

• Warehouse Finland

• Parcel delivery

• Pallet delivery

Clear naming makes it easier to create rules in Shipit and other shipping solutions.

Summary

Product Collections in Shopify can be created:

• As automatic collections (recommended)
