Shipping - Warehouses

Overview
For general information on the Warehouse feature, see the Warehouses topic in the Configuration section. With the Warehouse feature, you can specify different originating address for your shipments. If you use drop shippers, or have multiple locations that you ship from, this feature is for you.

To add a warehouse, see the instructions in the main Warehouse topic in the Configuration section.
