Add products from warehouse
Use this path when the product already exists in Warehousing. This is the best option for businesses that already receive, stock, audit, and pick inventory from warehouses.
In this workflow, Warehousing remains the source of truth for physical stock. Store Front becomes the customer-facing sales layer that uses that stock. This prevents the tenant from maintaining one product record for the customer and a separate unrelated product record for the warehouse.
Why link to warehouse items
Linking products to warehouse items keeps sales and operations aligned. When a customer orders a product, the admin team can understand which warehouse item is involved, which stock record matters, and how fulfillment should happen.
This is especially important when the tenant has multiple warehouses, variants, low-stock rules, receiving workflows, picking workflows, or inventory audits.
Steps
- Go to Storefront -> Products.
- Click Add Product.
- Choose Fill from warehouse item.
- Select the warehouse item.
- Review the imported name, SKU, stock, and related details.
- Add storefront-specific images, category, brand, description, price, and active status.
- Save the product.
When to use this path
- You already created inventory items in Warehousing.
- You want Store Front to reflect stock-managed goods.
- Products are fulfilled by warehouse staff.
- Stock should change through receiving, picking, audits, and warehouse adjustments.
After linking
The storefront product becomes the customer-facing layer. The warehouse item remains the operational layer. Keep names, images, prices, and sales status in Store Front, but keep receiving, stock corrections, audits, and location movement in Warehousing.
If the displayed stock looks wrong, check the warehouse item and inventory stock before changing the Store Front product. The product may be correct while the warehouse record needs receiving, adjustment, or audit work.
Where customers see the result
Customers do not see the warehouse item directly. They see the Store Front product. However, the warehouse link affects whether the item can be sold, how it is grouped for fulfillment, and how the team handles the order after checkout.
Before publishing
Confirm that the warehouse item is active, has usable stock, belongs to the correct warehouse, and matches the product being sold. If the warehouse item name, SKU, or quantity does not match the product, fix that before customers can order it.
