Delineate Shop inventory from inventory available for shipping?

Topic summary

A bike store operates both a brick-and-mortar location and a Shopify online store. They maintain built/assembled bikes on the showroom floor that are available for in-store purchase but cannot be shipped because they’ve been removed from their original packaging.

Core Issue:

  • Need to differentiate between inventory available for physical store sales versus inventory available for online shipping
  • Built floor models lack original packaging required for safe shipping

Question:
Seeking a method within Shopify to account for this inventory distinction—tracking items that can be sold in-store but should not appear as available for online orders requiring shipment.

As a bike store we have some built stock on the floor that is available for sale in the brick in mortar store but not available for shipping since it has been taken out of the box. Is there a way to account for this inside of Shopify?
