Inventory Source

Multi-Warehouse Inventory is one of the unique features of Bagisto. Here we will explain how you can manage multi-warehouse inventory in Laravel eCommerce and provide reliable service to your customers.

Having a single inventory source can pose some restrictions for your eCommerce store.

For instance, suppose you have only one inventory in Delhi. A customer from Chennai places an order. Delivering that product from Delhi may result in delays, higher transportation costs, etc. However, if you have an inventory in Chennai, the product will reach the customer faster, cutting down time and shipping cost.

By using Multi-Warehouse Inventory, you can easily manage all inventory sources. In Bagisto, you can create as many inventory sources as needed and manage them seamlessly.

Inventory Setting on the Product Page

Go to Catalog >> Products. Open the selected product in Edit Mode and enter the quantity for each inventory source. After filling up the required fields, click Save Product.

Note: If you do not enter any quantity, by default 0 is saved, and an inventory with 0 quantity will not be visible in the shipment page inventory options.
