When you\u2019re setting up a Shopify site for a brand that has multiple locations, you will need to set the priority for the locations to fulfill orders. There are numerous reasons why you need to do this.<\/p>\n
The first is that when an order is accepted, one location should receive the instructions to fulfill the orders. This prevents confusion in managing orders and keeps customers happy. Additionally, you may need to change fulfillment locations based on factors such as inventory levels, staffing, or logistical considerations.<\/p>\n
It also allows you to have certain processes in place that make it faster for your team to complete fulfillment. You can also help you determine resources if you know where your priority locations are. It isn\u2019t just stock that needs to go to this one location, you will also need the team members who can deal with the extra workload.<\/p>\n

Now you\u2019ve entered the locations settings page, you need to scroll down to find the fulfillment priority section. Next to the locations line within the section you can click on the \u2018Edit Fulfillment Priority\u2019 option to open up more information.<\/p>\n
