Archive the warehouse #
When there are no orders left in the warehouse in the Awaiting packaging, Awaiting shipping and In transit statuses, you can move it to the Archive tab. If necessary, you can return the warehouse to work.
To move the warehouse to archive:
-
Go to the Logistics → Warehouses and methods → Active section.
-
Next to the warehouse name, click
and select Move to archive.
-
If the warehouse has:
- unpaid orders and returns: deliver them using this warehouse method;
- stocks: they’ll be zeroed;
- active delivery methods: they’ll be moved to archive along with the warehouse.
If you sell the same product from different warehouses, its stocks in other warehouses won’t be zeroed when archiving. -
Click Archive.
Automatic archiving #
The warehouse will automatically go to archive if for more than 30 days:
- there are no products on sale in the warehouse;
- you didn’t bring any packages from this warehouse to the drop-off point.
You’ll get an email with the warehouse archiving date. We won’t move it to archive if you sell at least one product from it or bring at least one package for shipment before the 30 days expire.
Retrieve the warehouse from archive #
To get the warehouse back to work:
-
Go to the Logistics → Warehouses and methods → Archive section.

Next to the warehouse name, click
and select Restore from archive.
-
Click Yes, restore it.
After that, the warehouse will return to the Active tab with the same product list, but zero stocks.
To start selling from the warehouse:
-
Check that you’ve specified a shipping method for the method: click
next to the method name and select Edit method. -
Update the product list, their prices, and stocks.

next to the number of warehouses. -
