Setting Up Warehouses for Commerce 2.1 and Earlier versions

Warehouses represent physical locations of product inventory. To activate a warehouse, you must set its geolocation.

You can use a single warehouse to serve multiple channels or serve a single channel with multiple warehouses. When using the Minium or Speedwell accelerators, three sample warehouses serve one channel.
