Purchase orders
You can create purchase orders in your Shopify admin to record the commercial agreements that you make with your suppliers. A purchase order lists the products, quantities, costs, payment terms, and supplier details for an order.
The following video covers how to create and manage purchase orders in your Shopify admin.
You might use a purchase order to order new inventory from a supplier, agree on payment terms for a large order, or keep accurate records of incoming inventory.
You can save a purchase order as a draft to work on later, or mark it as Ordered after your supplier confirms. After the purchase order is marked as Ordered, you can create an inventory transfer for your purchase order to track shipments, receive inventory, and add cost adjustments.
You can also create and manage suppliers with their contact details, payment terms, and currencies, and view and filter your purchase orders list to find specific orders.
