Stock transfers allow you to move inventory between stock locations - a critical feature for multi-warehouse operations. This helps keep inventory balanced across your network, improves fulfillment speed, and reduces shipping costs by positioning products closer to customers.

<Note> Before you can create stock transfers, you must first set up additional stock locations. See: [<u>Settings → Locations</u>](https://spreecommerce.org/docs/user/settings/locations). </Note>

How to Create a Stock Transfer

To create a new stock transfer, navigate to Products → Stock → Stock Transfers.

Click New Stock Transfer in the top-right corner, and you’ll be redirected to the stock transfer creation form.

Here you’ll see two distinct sections that allow you to:

Configure Transfer Details

At the top of the form, you can specify the details of the stock transfer:

  • Origin Location: Select the warehouse the stock will be transferred from
  • Destination Location: Select the warehouse the stock will be transferred to
  • Reference (optional): Add a label or note to help identify the transfer (e.g., Q2 Restock - East Coast)

Add Products to the Transfer

At the bottom of the form, you can add the products to be transferred.

To do so, click + Add Products and a search window will open, allowing you to start typing a product name to find matching variants.

Please select a variant and then click Add selected variant to add it to the stock transfer.

Now simply enter the number of units to be transferred for each variant.

<Note> You can only transfer quantities that are currently in stock at the origin location. </Note>

Finalize the Transfer

When you're ready:

  • Review the details
  • Click Create to process the transfer

The inventory counts at each location will be updated immediately to reflect the transfer (assuming the physical movement of stock has already occurred) and a record of the transfer will be added to the Stock Transfers tab.
