Transfers

Managing Transfers

Transfers are a bulk way to add stock to your store when you receive new shipments from suppliers. You can also use this feature to transfer stock from one of your warehouses to another warehouse.

Inventory transfers from a warehouse to another warehouse, or from a supplier to a warehouse, are tracked on the Transfers page, which is accessible from Products>Transfers.

Before you can transfer stock from a warehouse or supplier to another warehouse, you have to add a warehouse first. Warehouses can be added from the Transfers page as well.

If you have not transferred stock before, clicking Products>Transfers will take you to an empty Transfers page, where you will be asked to create your first transfer.
