Location-based Inventory mapping

Manage inventory across multiple stores, warehouses, and fulfilment locations with Mystore

Location-Based Inventory helps you manage stock separately across different physical locations. Whether you operate multiple stores, warehouses, branches, or fulfilment centres, you can maintain location-wise inventory and ensure that customers see the right availability.

What is Location-Based Inventory?

With Location-Based Inventory, you can:

• Maintain separate inventory for each location
• Add multiple warehouses, stores, or fulfilment locations
• Link products to specific locations
• Control how much stock is available at each location
• Fulfil orders based on available inventory at a location

Example

Suppose you have three locations:

Mystore maintains the inventory separately for each location. This allows you to know exactly how much stock is available at each location instead of maintaining one combined inventory figure.

Location Quantity Limit

The maximum number of active locations that you can have depends on your store's subscription plan. Each subscription plan has the following active location limits:

• Freemium: 1 location
• Basic: 5 locations
• Business: 10 locations
• Enterprise: 25 locations

Common Use Cases

1. Multiple Warehouses

A merchant operates warehouses in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru. Each warehouse maintains its own inventory, allowing the merchant to fulfil orders from the appropriate location.

2. Retail + Online Store

A merchant has physical stores as well as an online store. Inventory can be maintained separately for each physical location while online orders are fulfilled from eligible locations.

3. Regional Inventory

A merchant maintains stock region-wise. For example:

• North: Delhi
• West: Mumbai
• South: Bengaluru

This helps the business maintain better visibility of regional stock.

4. Distributed Fulfilment

A merchant maintains stock at multiple fulfilment centres and wants to use available inventory based on the fulfilment location.
