How Do I Set Up Multiple Warehouses?
WareSquared supports multiple warehouses, making it easy to track inventory across different storage locations, retail stores, or distribution centers.
Adding a Warehouse
- Go to Warehouse in the navigation
- Click Warehouses → + New Warehouse
- Fill in the details:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Descriptive name (e.g., "Main Warehouse") |
| Code | Short unique code (e.g., "MAIN-DC") |
| Type | Storage, Retail, Distribution Center, Cold Storage |
| Address | Physical address |
| Active | Enable/disable the warehouse |

Warehouse Types
| Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Storage | Traditional warehouse or storage unit |
| Retail | Brick-and-mortar store with on-hand inventory |
| Distribution Center | High-volume fulfillment facility |
| Cold Storage | Temperature-controlled storage |
After Creating a Warehouse
Once created, you should:
- Add locations — Create shelves, bins, and zones within the warehouse
- Assign products — Start receiving inventory into locations
- Set as fulfillment source — Choose this warehouse when creating orders
Tip: Even if you only have one physical location, creating a warehouse lets you use WMS features like locations, transfers, and pick lists.
