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:

 ![15-35-95472-57662](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/shopifyforum/original/4X/2/2/0/220e290b26bee587d7f274045a3f5cc94a944dac.png)

Your location ID is the 8 digit number (11111111 in this example). Let me know how this goes!
