Shopify does inventory on the variant level, not by product.
And they do have some bins there, quick search reveals this – https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/inventory/setup/bin-locations
Note this:
Added last year I guess – Track your stock with new “Bin name” column - Shopify Changelog
nice find! it looks like it can be set up via CSV import. Checked the API docs but looks like they haven’t made it available yet to developers. Still, it’s great to see this part of core Shopify and it shows up on the pick lists
Yes, unfortunately, it’s not in API yet.
