Transfers move stock between your locations. Stockroom doesn't replace Shopify's transfers - it works on top of them. Every transfer you create in Shopify admin shows up in Stockroom automatically, and Stockroom adds the parts admin doesn't have: suggestions for what to move, barcode receiving, and labels.
You'll find everything under Inventory, in the Transfers view.
Suggested transfers
When one location dips to its reorder point while another holds more than its maximum stock level of the same item, Stockroom pairs them up: a suggested transfer appears at the top of the Transfers view, showing each item, how much to send, and the value at cost.
Suggestions come from the same reorder points and maximum levels that power the Reorder page. Set them on the Suggested levels view under Inventory, or on any product page - without them, there is nothing to suggest.
Use the From and To filters to focus on one location.
Press Create transfer to create a draft transfer in Shopify with those items and quantities. Review, pick, and ship it in Shopify admin as usual - Stockroom never ships stock on its own.
Suggestions recalculate live: once a draft covers the shortage, or stock moves, the suggestion disappears on its own.
Your transfers, synced both ways
The list below the suggestions mirrors Shopify: Open, Transferred, Canceled, and All tabs, with search by transfer number, reference, or location. Transfers created in Shopify admin appear here on their own; anything Stockroom creates or receives shows up in admin the same way. The transfer document itself - items, quantities, shipments, tracking - is always edited in Shopify; use Open in Shopify on any transfer to jump straight to it.
Receiving a shipment
Once a shipment is in transit, open the transfer in Stockroom and press Receive items on that shipment.
Counts start pre-filled to everything outstanding, so the "it all arrived" case is one click.
Counting as you unpack? Press Zero counts, then scan barcodes or SKUs - each scan adds one to the item's accepted count.
Use the Rejected column for damaged or wrong items: rejected units are recorded on the transfer but never enter your stock.
Press Receive and Shopify does the inventory math - accepted units land at the destination, and the transfer's progress updates in both places. Partial receives are fine; the shipment stays receivable until everything is accepted or rejected.
Printing labels
Press Print labels on any transfer to label what you're moving - handy when items get re-shelved at the destination. Rows seed at the transfer quantities, and the same label formats and field checklist you know from purchase orders apply.
Good to know
Transfers need updated Shopify permissions. If the view shows a banner about data access, close and reopen Stockroom and approve the prompt - your transfers sync in automatically afterwards.
Suggestions need at least two active locations, plus reorder points and maximum levels on the items you want watched.
Transfer movements show up everywhere you'd expect: the product page's inventory history (shipped out at the origin, received at the destination) and the Incoming click-through on the Products list, which lists in-transit transfers beside open purchase orders.
Like the rest of Stockroom's core, transfers are free.
