Parent and Child Store Locations

Store locations can be organized using a parent-child structure. This helps you group multiple stores, warehouses, branches, or pickup points under a larger region.

For example, you can create a parent location for a country or city, then add individual branches as child locations.

Example Structure

United States
    New York Store
    California Store
    Texas Warehouse

United Kingdom
    London Store
    Manchester Store

This structure is useful when your store operates in multiple countries, cities, regions, or warehouse groups.

Use parent-child locations when:

  • You have many locations.
  • You want to group stores by country or region.
