Hey Michelle, If delete the location and it asks me where to move the in stock items to and I succeed… could I then go back and add another location in there in the event i need to move inventory back over?

Hi @Kerry_Shaw
If you use Mixtable’s Excel-like spreadsheet interface to update your Shopify product inventory in bulk you can then simply cut+paste inventory from one location to another.
I just changed the name and address of the current Location holding all the inventory. Under Settings > Locations

Any idea how to change my default Shopify location from (my home) address to fulfillment service i.e. “DSer app” (a dropshipping app in shopify store) on all products/variants? this is the exact same issue, just setting it for all products to an application-location for fufillment.
as several folks noted, To do this on each variant would be hours of work. The DSer folks don’t have a button to do this and must be done in shopify… hmm…
OK GURU’s! HELP!!
Hi Southern Spirit, apologies for the late reply - I hope that you have had some luck with this, but yes if you delete the location, you can go back and add another location in the event you need to do this again. My client does this 4 times a year as the pop-up market moves location.
I agree with this. Since my first reply to this thread we have learned a lot. We do a lot of weekend shows/pop-ups. What we have settled on is NOT transferring any inventory to the pop-up Location. We just use POS (POS doesn’t care if there is anything in stock or not…it assumes if you’re trying to check out that item then you have it…) to sell from that Location, which gives us negative numbers in that location’s inventory. When we’re done with the show we deactivate that location, Shopify asks which other location to move inventory to, we choose our primary location, and then Shopify moves the negative inventory numbers there and all our counts are correct. The only scenario I see where this is a problem is if you’re doing a ton of online sales while you are doing a popup and you aren’t able to watch those transactions closely. We do not. So this works for us.

This is the perfect answer! The only way to not miss transferring the entire inventory from one location to another is to deactivate the location that inventory is leaving from
