Locations
Define location details and manage how they fulfill orders
Introduction
The Locations page shows a list of all locations you have created previously with a Create Location button at the top-right. The table allows you to sort locations by Location Number, Location Name, Location Address, Status, and Last Updated.
Creating a Location
Click Add Location at the top of the page to create a location, or hover over an already existing location in the table and click on the pencil icon at the right to edit it.
Basic Information
In the Basic Information section, give the location a name and assign it a number.
Use the optional Coordinate 1 and Coordinate 2 fields for precise geolocation.
Set its status, whether Active or Inactive. Active locations are a part of your inventory network, Inactive locations are not.
Location Setup
In the Location setup section, use the Location type dropdown to select the location’s type.
Set the Capacity limit toggle to Disabled or Enabled.
Disabling the capacity limit allows the location to be assigned unlimited allocations for fulfillment, up until inventory is unavailable.
If capacity limits are enabled, the Capacity limit amount field is displayed. Enter the number of allocations this location can receive at a time.
Contact & Address
In the Contact & Address section, fill out the information for a contact at the location, as well as the location’s physical address.
Operating Hours
The Operating Hours section lets you input a location’s hours with the option to create separate hours for store operation and curbside pickup.
To enable Operating Hours, check the Enable specific operating hours (optional) box.
Use the Select working days dropdown to choose which days you would like to configure. The days you choose and several additional dropdowns and other controls will appear below.
Use the first two dropdowns to set the day’s operating hours. Use the Operating Location dropdown to choose whether the hours apply to the location’s Store only, Curbside pickup only, or Store and Curbside pickup hours.
The controls to the right allow you to add, clone, and delete the row.
Cloning a row is especially useful if a single location has separate operating hours for store only and curbside pickup only on the same day.
Importing Locations
You can bulk import a list of multiple locations using the Import CSV file feature.
