You create a warehouse from the Warehouses page under Locations. The same dialog also lets you set up the warehouse's group.

Steps

  1. Go to Manage › Locations. The Warehouses list opens.
  2. Click + New Warehouse at the top right. The New Warehouse dialog opens.
  3. Fill in the warehouse details:
    • Name (required), for example "Denver DC".
    • Address (required): street address, city, state, ZIP and country. The apartment/suite line is optional.
    • Contact (optional): phone and email. These are used by carriers for pickup notifications. If you enter an email, it must be valid.
  4. In the Warehouse group section, choose one of two options:
    • Create new group
      • Enter a Group name. It is pre-filled from the warehouse name, and you can change it.
      • Choose Pick & Pack: Automatic (the default) or Manual.
      • Turn on External (3PL) only if a 3PL or OMS integration manages this warehouse's inventory (for example ShipStation, Amazon, Trackstar or EDI). If you turn it on:
        • Select an Integration account. You can create one with + New Account.
        • Pick the Integration's warehouse to map this warehouse to the matching location in the integration. This field doesn't appear for EDI accounts.
        • Optionally turn on Pull stock levels or Pull inbound shipments. Each toggle appears only if the selected integration supports it.
    • Add to existing group: pick a group from the Warehouse group list. The group's edit dialog then opens with the new warehouse added, so you can review it and save.
  5. Click Create warehouse. If a required field is missing, you'll see "Please fill all the required fields."

After it saves, the new warehouse appears in the Warehouses list. If you chose a new group, you'll see a confirmation that the warehouse and group were created.

Good to know

  • A new warehouse automatically gets a default shipping location and a default receiving location, both named General. Later you can open the warehouse with the edit option and change them under Setup.
  • If the warehouse is created but its group can't be, you'll see a message saying so. Create the group from the Warehouse Groups page instead.
  • Deleting a warehouse requires the delete permission for locations.
