Hi, @jaredp
Sorry to hear you had some issues navigating the Help Center. Can I ask specifically what you think could be better so I can pass some recommendations onto our team? I’d be happy to do that; we’re always looking for feedback and ways to improve.
As for your location ID, you can find this information in the /shop.json of your admin. To get the location ID easily, you can use the following URL, replacing “yourstorename” with the name of your own store:
https://yourstorename.myshopify.com/admin/shop.json?fields=primary_location_id
This URL will return the value of the location ID. It will look something like this example:
Your location ID is the 8 digit number (11111111 in this example). Let me know how this goes!
