Note: Storage bins are part of the Warehouse Management add-on, which covers all of your business’s main warehouse management needs. The add-on is included in Professional and Professional Plus plans. Those on a Standard plan can purchase the functionality with the add-on.
Storage bins are designated areas within a warehouse used to organize and track inventory more effectively. They help businesses categorize and locate products quickly, facilitating efficient stock management and reducing retrieval times.
Storage bins simplify the inventory management processes by ensuring workers always know where to place, pick and find their products.
Depending on your needs, a storage bin can be thought of as a specific bin location, zone, or area within a warehouse.
The default storage bin can be chosen per variant per location.
Note: Storing one item in multiple storage bins in the same location isn't currently possible.
