Inventory transfers and shipments

You can create inventory transfers and shipments to move and track inventory between your store locations. Your inventory is reserved at the origin location and sent to the destination location.

You might need to move items to replenish stock at another location, fulfill customer orders, or transfer inventory between different branches of your business.

Transfers and shipments can help you manage your inventory in multiple ways:

• Keep track of your inventory as you move it between your various locations.
• Specify whether you receive full or partial inventory and process inventory at your own pace.
• Update your inventory automatically after you receive the items in a shipment.
• Add tracking information for each shipment in a transfer.

Tip

You can also view and manage inventory transfers created by third-party apps from the Transfers page of your Shopify admin.
