Configure the inventory chain

  1. Create and enable a location in Inventory → Locations.
  2. Create a stock pool and assign sources.
  3. Set priorities: lower numbers deduct first.
  4. Choose default/global behavior and save.
  5. Add product quantities; inspect reservations and availability.
  6. Test a cart with the intended delivery or pickup context.

Global stock and delivery are separate controls

Global stock appears across browsing locations, including uncovered pins. It does not enable worldwide delivery; local checkout still requires eligible coverage and sources.

Global delivery separately allows eligible default/global sources. Inventory, schedules and capacity still apply. Shared sources count once in availability.

Use replenishment recommendations

Inventory → Replenishment uses stock, sales velocity and saved policies. Set supplier, lead time, target cover, safety stock, minimum quantity and order multiple. Save to recalculate recommendations.
