Adding location inventory
To add inventory to multiple stores that you operate, you'll need to update the inventory levels for each store individually. For example, if you recently open a new outlet (Vivocity) and want to keep track of your inventory for each store separately. By adding inventory to each store's inventory level, you can ensure that you have accurate stock levels for each location and avoid overselling products.
To add inventory to each store:
- From your SHOPLINE admin, go to Products
- To update the inventory for your new store at Vivocity, you will need to select the desired product and click on the Inventory button. This will allow you to make any necessary changes to the stock levels of the product specifically for the Vivocity store. By keeping track of inventory levels for each store, you can avoid stockouts and ensure that you have enough stock to meet customer demand. Follow these steps to update inventory for your new store
- Once you have made changes to the inventory level for your product, be sure to click the Save button to ensure that the changes are recorded and the new inventory level is updated.
Discover how to update inventory for multiple products across multiple stores using a CSV file. By using this method, you can make changes to inventory levels in bulk, instead of updating each product and store individually. This can save you time and effort, especially if you have a large number of products or stores to manage.
