Creating and Managing Warehouses

Every transaction in Goflow involves a warehouse. Inventory is purchased, received, moved, and shipped from warehouses, and every order is assigned to a warehouse. Your Goflow account includes a Default warehouse. You can add additional warehouses to your account as needed.

There are three main warehouse types:

• Direct Fulfillment – Direct fulfillment warehouses are your own locations that you manage directly. Orders assigned to a direct fulfillment warehouse follow the direct fulfillment flow for order processing.
• Third-Party Fulfillment (3PL) – 3PL warehouses are remote locations managed by another company. Orders assigned to a 3PL warehouse follow the 3PL-Fulfillment flow for order processing.
• Store Fulfillment – Store warehouses are managed by sales channels and are linked to a specific store in Goflow. Store-fulfilled orders are assigned to a store warehouse.
