Location-Aware Collections & PDP Stock by Location
The Opportunity
Filter collections by inventory at a specific location and display per-location stock on product pages. Power BOPIS and regional merchandising accurately.
"Collection conditions can’t restrict by a specific location’s inventory, and PDPs don’t show per-location stock details."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Compute per-location availability into metafields and surfaces for Search & Discovery; provide PDP widgets listing stock at each location; dynamic collections based on chosen location stock.
Target Audience
Multi-location retailers with online + store pickup
Competitive Landscape
Store Pickup + Delivery, NearSt, Klevu (custom), Custom theme code (fragmented)
Implementation Notes
Scheduled jobs or on-demand recalculation to write location-specific in-stock flags/quantities to metafields; theme app extension for PDP stock-by-location; Search & Discovery integration for collection filtering; respects Locations and inventory policies.
Evidence from Merchants
Real quotes from Shopify community forums
"We’d like for it to only check the inventory stock at the specific location that’s dedicated to our online store only."
"Can I just have all my stock at the retail location and still get the right stock count when I sell my products for both locations?"
"I need to determine the stocks for each instead of getting the total variant quantity."
Key Pain Points
Inability to filter inventory based on specific locations, leading to inaccurate stock representation.
