Choose which warehouse sells on what platform
Before moving to Storefeeder we were able to choose which Warehouses sold their stock and on what platforms they did so. They were also ranked in order as to which warehouse sold stock first if there was more than one warehouse fulfilling the same orders. Would something like this work on Storefeeder?

Hi Robin,
the work to add multiple warehose support is underway. This will allow you to limit channels to certain warehouses. Please keep an eye on the updates for it being released.
Thanks,
SF

Just an update on this to say multi warehouse is now nearing completion.

I was just looking through to see if anyone had asked for this! We would also like this ability, so you can choose how a product is fulfilled depending on the channel it has been bought from. In our case, we have 2 warehouses: Amazon FBA and Office (our own warehouse), and 3 channels: Shopify, Amazon, eBay.
The current closest solution for us is Autoflip. So if Amazon FBA runs out of stock, then the local inventory is used. This solves part of the problem, but in this scenario FBA is always used first, even for Shopify and eBay orders. You can't change it depending on the SKU or the Channel.
One way I thought this could work, would be to firstly create warehouse priority rules, e.g.Rule 1 (FBA first): - ship from FBA stock if available, else ship from Office (i.e. autoflip)Rule 2 (Office first): - ship from Office if available, else ship from FBA
Rule 3 (Only Office): - ship from Office if available, else flag error
etc
Then apply those rules to products, based on the channel e.g.
SKU A
For Amazon use Rule 1
For Shopify order us Rule 2
For eBay order use Rule 3
SKU B
For Amazon use Rule 1
For Shopify, eBay order use Rule 2For Amazon orders, having Autoflip on or off for all SKUs is fine, because if you have stock in FBA, I think you'll always want to use that first. It's really only an issue for other channels.
