Virtual Warehouse

Edited

The Virtual Warehouse is used to fully separate your wholesale inventory from your DTC Inventory. With the separate warehouse, we can isolate this inventory from showing up on specific sales channels.

How to setup?

To setup the Virtual Warehouse, reach out to support@shipessential.com. Our team will complete the following steps-

  • Add Warehouse- Add the Ship Essential (NY- V) aka "Virtual" Warehouse or Ship Essential (LA- V) aka "Virtual" Warehouse to your ShipHero account

  • Review your store settings- Modify your inventory sync to Shopify to only sync inventory from Ship Essential (NY) aka the "NYC" Warehouse or Ship Essential (LA) aka the "LA" Warehouse

  • Download Products- If needed, we turn can update your Shopify integration so that only products import into the "NYC" Warehouse. We can also manually upload products to the Virtual Warehouse
