Introduction

In today's fast-paced e-commerce landscape, businesses often operate from multiple warehouses or fulfillment locations. Understanding this need, our Back-in-Stock app has been equipped with a robust multi-location feature to provide both our users and their customers with a seamless experience. In this article, we'll explore the multi-location feature in-depth and guide you on how to make the best use of it.


The Default Setting: Tracking All Locations

By default, our app keeps an eye on all online locations linked to your Shopify store. What this means is, that if a customer signs up to be notified when a product is back in stock, the app is constantly monitoring every location's inventory for that product. The moment it identifies the product as available in any of the locations, it triggers a notification to the awaiting customer.

This functionality ensures that your customers are promptly informed when a product becomes available, increasing the potential for a completed sale.


Customize Which Locations to Track

However, we recognize that every business is unique. You might have certain locations dedicated solely to specific markets, or perhaps certain warehouses only carry select items. With our multi-location feature, you gain the flexibility to choose which specific locations our app should track.

How to Select Your Locations:

  1. Access the Multi-location Feature: Navigate to the Account settings> Locations tab of your Notify Me! app on your Shopify dashboard.

  2. View All Locations: Here, you'll find a comprehensive list of all your Shopify store's online locations.

  3. Choose Locations to Track: Simply check the boxes next to the locations you want the app to monitor. Unchecked locations will be ignored for back-in-stock notifications.

  4. Save Settings: Don't forget to save your preferences once you've made your selections.


Benefits of Custom Location Tracking

  • Targeted Notifications: Ensure that the back-in-stock notifications align with your logistical and strategic needs.

  • Resource Optimization: By narrowing down the locations, you can optimize the use of inventory in preferred warehouses, leading to efficient inventory management.

  • Enhanced Customer Experience: You avoid sending notifications to your customers when the product isn't actually available for them to buy.


Conclusion

The multi-location feature in our app offers a tailored experience for our users, catering to their unique business needs. By providing the option to customize inventory tracking across multiple locations, we hope to empower you with flexibility, efficiency, and a better connection with your customers. Get started today and make the most of this feature to elevate your e-commerce journey.
