Stock Transfers

Stock transfers let you move inventory from one Shopify location to another. Whether you are restocking a retail store from a warehouse or redistributing slow-moving inventory, StockrHub tracks the entire transfer lifecycle with full audit trails.

Creating a Transfer

1. Navigate to Transfers and click Create Transfer.
2. Select the origin location (where stock is shipping from).
3. Select the destination location (where stock is shipping to).
4. Add items to the transfer.
5. Save as draft or mark as in transit.

Note

Both the origin and destination must be active Shopify locations. StockrHub pulls your location list directly from Shopify.

Adding Items

You can add items to a transfer in two ways:

Search by SKU or Name

Use the search field to find products by SKU, barcode, or product title. Select the variant you want to transfer and enter the quantity.

Barcode Scanning

If you have a barcode scanner connected:

1. Place your cursor in the barcode input field.
2. Scan the item’s barcode.
3. StockrHub looks up the matching variant and adds it to the transfer.
4. Scan again to increment the quantity or add a new item.

Tip

Barcode scanning is the fastest way to build a transfer. Each scan automatically increments the quantity by one for already-added items.

Setting Quantities

For each line item, enter the number of units to transfer. StockrHub displays the current available quantity at the origin location so you can verify stock is available.

Field	Description
SKU	The product variant’s SKU
Product	Product and variant title
Available	Current stock at the origin location
Transfer Qty	Number of units to move

Transfer Statuses

A transfer moves through three statuses:

1. Draft — The transfer has been created but stock has not been picked or shipped. You can still add, remove, or adjust items.
2. In Transit — Items have left the origin location. Inventory at the origin is decremented.
3. Received — Items have arrived at the destination. Inventory at the destination is incremented.

Caution

Once a transfer is marked as In Transit, the origin location’s inventory is adjusted. Make sure the transfer details are correct before changing the status.

Receiving a Transfer

When inventory arrives at the destination location:

1. Open the transfer and click Receive.
2. Verify the received quantity for each line item against what was actually delivered.
3. Adjust quantities if there are discrepancies (damaged goods, shortages).
4. Click Complete Receive.

StockrHub will:

• Increment inventory at the destination location for the received quantities.
• Record any discrepancies between the expected and received quantities.
• Move the transfer to Received status.

Audit Trail

Every transfer maintains a complete audit trail with before/after inventory snapshots:

• Before Snapshot — Stock levels at both locations before the transfer.
• After Snapshot — Stock levels at both locations after receiving.
• Timestamps — When each status change occurred.
• User — Who created, shipped, and received the transfer.

This audit trail provides accountability and helps investigate discrepancies.

Tip

Use the audit trail to review historical transfers when investigating inventory discrepancies. The before/after snapshots make it easy to see exactly what changed.

Location Selection

StockrHub syncs your location list from Shopify. All active locations appear in the origin and destination dropdowns. If you add or remove locations in Shopify, they will be reflected in StockrHub after the next sync.

Locations typically include:

• Warehouses
• Retail stores
• Distribution centers
• Pop-up or temporary locations
