Track items across sublocations but display only main location

[REAWAKE_support]

We have a store with a small shop floor that is accessible to customers and a larger workshop/warehouse connected to it.

We want to be able to keep track of where the items actually are (e.g. are they on the shop floor or are they currently in the workshop). However, we don't want to differentiate these locations on our online store. For customers we want to show these locations as the same location (because it's actually the same building).

We have not yet found an elegant solution for this.

Any ideas how we could achieve this?

Hi @REAWAKE_support,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. I'd be happy to provide some assistance with this request!

If you haven't already done so, I'd encourage you to check out the Shopify App Store. We have various inventory management apps available that may allow you to organize your stock in this way. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Blair

Thanks for your comment. I had briefly browsed through the apps but simply didn't take the time yet to dive into the topic more deeply. I was hoping there would be a native solution to this case, but it seems this is not something shopify provides without apps.

Then I will have a closer look at the various inventory management apps in the App Store. You don't happen to have a couple of apps to get me started?
