Introducing the Physical Storefront Toggle
Shopify has introduced a new physical storefront toggle within the Locations settings in Shopify Admin. This feature allows you to explicitly define retail locations, moving beyond the previous reliance on POS activity. Now, you can clearly differentiate customer-facing storefronts from other types of locations.
Benefits of the Physical Storefront Toggle
- Better Location Discovery: Easily manage location visibility across channels such as Shop.
- Accurate Analytics and Reporting: Maintain reliable data for your store's performance.
- Future-Proof Features: Ensure compatibility with upcoming location-based tools and improvements.
This update also ensures that location names shown to customers in Shop match the names defined in your Admin. We recommend reviewing and updating your location names to enhance customer experience.
How to Use the Toggle
The physical storefront toggle is enabled by default. You can manage physical storefronts and POS locations with ease through the Shopify Admin panel. For detailed guidance, visit the Shopify Help Center.
