Managing multiple locations
Once you're running more than one store, warehouse, or showroom, ResaleOS treats every location as a first-class object — inventory is per-location, POS routes to a default location, and each location can be mapped to its eBay / Etsy / Shopify counterpart so cross-platform sales decrement the right shelf.

Add every place you store or sell from
Showrooms, warehouses, storage units, garages — each gets its own card. Tag the kind of address (Residential / Commercial), flights of stairs, and whether there's a loading dock so shipping & moving providers can quote accurately.

Look for the channel badges
When you connect eBay, Etsy, or Shopify, ResaleOS auto-pulls each platform's locations and tags them on the matching ResaleOS card. The pink, green, and orange chips next to the address tell you which marketplaces have already mapped to this location.

Map any platform that didn't auto-link
Edit a location to see its full mapping table. ResaleOS uses Google Place ID + coordinates to auto-match in most cases, but you can manually pair a ResaleOS location to an external location ID anytime — handy for newly added warehouses or platforms with custom location names.
When inventory syncs, ResaleOS reads the linked external location ID from each channel, so a sale at the SoHo eBay listing decrements the SoHo on-hand count automatically.
What multi-location unlocks
Per-location inventory
Track on-hand quantities at each location independently. Move stock between locations from any product page; the receiving location goes up, the sender goes down.
Per-location POS
Each register defaults to its own location, so checkouts debit the right shelf. Switch a register's location anytime from the POS top bar.
Channel sales decrement correctly
A sale at your eBay Manhattan listing decrements the SoHo on-hand count. The Brooklyn warehouse stays untouched. No more oversells when one location runs dry.
Smarter shipping quotes
Labels and quotes use the originating location's address and its loading-dock / flights-of-stairs detail. Lugg, GoShare, and uShip moving quotes get this right out of the box.
Filter products by location
The Products table toolbar has a Location filter — quickly audit "everything at SoHo" or "everything at the warehouse" for stock takes.
Cross-channel sync
When channel platforms publish or update, ResaleOS pushes the right per-location quantity per platform. Etsy gets the Brooklyn count; eBay gets the SoHo count.
How each platform handles locations
eBay
eBay treats stores under their Multi-Location Inventory program. ResaleOS imports the merchant locations registered to your eBay seller account on connect. The Manage policies page stays per-channel; mapping is per-location.
Etsy
Etsy doesn't ship multi-location inventory natively, but its shop has a single primary address. ResaleOS still tags the primary Etsy location on the matching ResaleOS card so reports and analytics group correctly.
Shopify
Shopify's location IDs are first-class — every product variant holds its inventory per location ID. ResaleOS maps every ResaleOS location to a Shopify location so updates land at the right warehouse / store.
Square
Square locations are 1:1 mapped to ResaleOS locations. POS sales at a Square register tied to "SoHo" decrement the SoHo on-hand count.
Heads up — duplicate detection
If you accidentally add a location at the same address (or within 50 meters) as an existing one, ResaleOS will show a This location will be mergedbanner before saving — so connected channels and inventory don't end up split across two near-duplicate cards.
Where locations show up
- Settings → Store → Locations — the list, the modal, the channel badges, the merge banner.
- Products table toolbar — the Location filter dropdown for fast audits.
- Product detail — per-location inventory rows and a Move stock action between locations.
- POS top bar— register location selector; checkouts debit that location's on-hand.
- Send invoice modal — Reply-to dropdown lists every location email so customers reach the right team.
- Sale detail — sales tag the location they were rung at, used by reports and consignor splits.
- Shipping quotes — origin address, loading-dock and stairs detail flow into Lugg, GoShare, and uShip moving quotes.
Frequently asked
How many locations can I have?
Unlimited on every paid plan. Many ResaleOS users run 1 main store + 2-3 storage rooms; some big shops run 6+.
Can items live at two locations?
Yes. Quantity is tracked per location, so a product can have 12 at SoHo and 4 at the warehouse. Channel exports decide which number to push based on the channel's location mapping.
Can a location be private/storage?
Yes — leave it unmapped to any channel and it'll only show up in your internal Products table and reports. Useful for staging, photo-ready, and consignment intake areas.
What if a platform doesn't have my location?
For eBay, you'll need to add the merchant location on eBay first; ResaleOS will pick it up on the next sync. For Shopify, create the location in Shopify admin and we'll map it automatically. Etsy auto-pulls on connect.
Does shipping use the location?
Yes. The Sale's location drives the shipping origin, so labels print with the right return address and quotes are calculated from the right ZIP.
What if a location is wrong?
Edit the location and update the address — ResaleOS re-runs channel matching; if it now matches an external location, it re-links automatically. Otherwise you can manually pick from the dropdown.
