Warehouses

Warehouses represent physical locations where you can manage product inventory and source them for order fulfillment. A single SKU or unit of measure may be available in more than one warehouse, and inventory is managed on a per-warehouse basis.

See Setting Up Commerce Warehouses and Warehouse Reference Guide for more information on managing warehouses.

For a store to accept orders, the related channel must have a warehouse associated with it. Read Channels to understand how channels work.
