We’ve added a physical storefront toggle to Locations in Shopify Admin, so retail locations are no longer inferred solely from POS activity and can be explicitly defined.
Now you can clearly separate customer facing stores from POS-only locations like pop-ups, test locations, or warehouses using a single control. This improves location discovery across channels like Shop and keeps analytics, reporting, and future location-based features accurate and reliable.
Location names shown to customers in Shop will match the location name in Admin, so we recommend reviewing your location names. The physical storefront toggle is enabled by default.
