Shopify multi-location inventory and cost tracking, done right
You've got a warehouse, two retail stores, and a 3PL. A single supplier PO ships to two of those locations. Shopify's native inventory tools can technically track it, but only if you enter every adjustment by hand, at every location, and manually update cost. Smart Restock does the whole thing from one invoice upload — accurate multi-location inventory and weighted-average cost tracking without the spreadsheet gymnastics.

Route restocks to the right Shopify location
When you review an incoming invoice, assign each line to a Shopify location. Split a single line across multiple locations if you need to. Save default routing rules per supplier so recurring shipments hit the right dock automatically.
Smart Restock posts the inventory adjustments to each Shopify location individually and keeps location-level cost accurate — so when you run a stock or margin report by location, the numbers match reality.
Weighted-average cost, per variant, across every location
When you restock a SKU at a higher unit cost, Smart Restock recalculates weighted-average cost using the on-hand quantity before the receipt and the new invoice cost. This applies across all locations so a single variant carries one accurate WAC — not a stale supplier price frozen months ago.
For merchants running seasonal price changes or dealing with volatile wholesale costs, this alone keeps Shopify's cost-of-goods reports honest.
Transfer receipts and inter-location moves
Move stock between locations directly inside Smart Restock and the transfers post to Shopify with correct inventory decrements at the source and increments at the destination. No more manual dual-entry adjustments.
