Stock Transfers

info

Stock transfers are available on Standard and Pro plans.

Stock transfers move inventory between your Shopify locations. Swift POS supports both quick single-item transfers and full bulk transfer workflows.

Quick Transfer (Single Item)

For moving a single product between locations:

1. Find the product in inventory view
2. Click Transfer
3. Select the source and destination locations
4. Enter the quantity to transfer
5. Confirm

The inventory is adjusted immediately at both locations.

Bulk Transfer Workflow

For larger transfers involving multiple products, use the full transfer workflow:

1. Create Transfer

• Select source location (where stock is leaving)
• Select destination location (where stock is going)
• Add items by searching, browsing, or scanning barcodes
• Set quantities for each item
• Save as Draft

2. Send Transfer

Click Send to initiate the transfer. This:

• Changes the status to In Transit
• Decreases inventory at the source location
• The stock is now "in transit" and not available at either location

3. Receive Transfer

At the destination location, open the pending transfer and click Receive:

• Confirm received quantities (can differ from sent quantities)
• Use barcode scanning in continuous mode for faster receiving
• Increases inventory at the destination location
• Status changes to Received

Transfer Statuses

Status	Description
Draft	Transfer created but not yet sent. Can be edited or deleted.
In Transit	Sent from source. Stock has been decremented. Awaiting receipt.
Received	Fully received at destination. Transfer complete.

tip

Use barcode scanning during the receiving step to quickly verify that all expected items have arrived. Each scan increments the received count for that item.
