Step 2: Enable Location Tracking​

  • Navigate to Settings > Locations in your Shopify Admin Panel.

  • Make sure each location has an address and is marked as active for inventory tracking.

Step 3: Configure the App​

  • Open the app from your Apps section in the Shopify Admin.

  • Configure Location Rule and Display Settings:
    • The app will automatically sync your store's inventory with the registered locations.
    • Verify that all products are correctly assigned to their respective locations in the app’s dashboard.
  • Enable Geolocation:
    • Turn on the geolocation feature to detect customers’ locations for nearby inventory display.
    • Use the app’s configuration settings to customize distance limits and fallback locations if geolocation fails.
  • Sync Product Tags & Metafields:
    • Use the app to sync locations as product tags or metafields for filtering and organizing inventory.
    • Access the Product Metafield Sync section in the app, choose the attributes you want to sync, and save the settings.

Step 4: Customize Product Page Display​

  • Enable Stock Display:
    • In the app settings, activate the feature to display real-time stock levels and locations on the product page.
  • Customize Appearance:
    • Adjust the layout and design of the stock availability display using the app’s editor or Liquid snippets.
    • Access the Customization tab and match the display style to your storefront’s theme.

Step 5: Add Location Selector​

  • Enable the Location Selector in the app to allow customers to choose their preferred shopping location.
  • Configure the default location or set up a prompt to auto-detect customers’ locations using geolocation.
  • Test the selector functionality on your storefront to ensure smooth integration.

Step 6: Create Location-Based Collections​

  • Navigate to Collections in your Shopify Admin.
  • Use the synced product tags or metafields to create dynamic collections showcasing location-specific inventory.
  • Example: Create a collection for “Available in New York” products by filtering with location-based tags.

Step 7: Test the Setup​

  • Preview your product pages to ensure stock availability and location details are displayed correctly.
  • Simulate a customer flow by selecting a location and adding products to the cart to confirm the functionality.
  • Test the geolocation feature by accessing the storefront from various locations.

Step 8: Monitor and Optimize​

  • Regularly check the app’s dashboard to ensure inventory data remains accurate across all locations.
  • Use analytics provided by the app (if available) to track customer preferences for specific locations and adjust inventory or promotions accordingly.

This setup ensures your customers have a seamless and personalized shopping experience while enabling efficient multi-location inventory management.
