Stock Transfers

Add-on required. This feature requires the Inventory Management add-on to be active on your store. View add-ons

Stock transfers move inventory between locations of the same store (for example, back room → front counter, or warehouse → floor). For moving stock between different stores in an organization, see Cross-Store Transfers.

When to Use Stock Transfers

  • One location is low on a product while another location in the same store has extra.
  • You are stocking a new location inside the store and need to redistribute inventory.
  • You want to balance stock levels across your store's locations.

Transfer lifecycle

StatusWhat It Means
Draft (shown as Pending in the app)The transfer is prepared. You can still edit lines.
Shipped / Partially ShippedStock has left the source location (fully or in part).
ReceivedThe destination has confirmed receipt; stock is on hand there.
CancelledThe transfer was cancelled before completion.

Manager approval for inventory is separate: it applies to placing purchase orders and stock adjustments when Staff Operations is active — not to the transfer ship/receive steps. See Approvals & Permissions.

Shipping and Receiving

Stock does not move until you ship, and it is not available at the destination until you receive.

Open the draft (Pending) transfer from the list and review the products, quantities, and locations.

2

If a transfer is no longer needed before it is fully received, Cancel it. Cancelling a draft does not change stock; cancelling after a ship may reverse or leave partial movement depending on what was already shipped/received — review the document before cancelling.

Tips for Managing Transfers

  • Ship and receive promptly so on-hand counts stay accurate at both locations.
  • Use transfer history to spot patterns in how stock moves inside the store.
  • Plan ahead for busy seasons by redistributing stock early.
  • Need another store? Use Cross-Store Transfers (Organization + Inventory on both stores).
