New Inventory Transfers experience available for testing in Dev Preview
The Inventory Transfers developer preview increases flexibility for apps that manage multi-location inventory transfers. You can build and test integrations that support common inventory movements, such as transfers with multiple shipments, and connect with external systems before these features are available to all merchants.
This developer preview includes both API capabilities and changes to the Shopify admin UI, helping you understand how merchants will interact with these features.
To test these features, enable the Inventory Transfers developer preview on your development store. Once your development store is set up and the developer preview is enabled, access the enhanced inventory transfer features by navigating to Inventory > Transfer.
The developer preview provides access to the following features:
- Transfers API: Create and manage inventory transfers between locations, supporting multiple shipments.
- Shipment Management & API: Add and track multiple shipments per transfer with detailed tracking information.
- Webhooks: Stay synchronized with inventory transfer and shipment changes through dedicated webhook topics.
- Receiving workflow: Process received goods for each shipment with acceptance and rejection capabilities.
- Extensibility options: Use metafields in the APIs for custom transfer data.
- Third-party integration: Enable bi-directional syncing with external platforms.
This developer preview is valuable for:
- Partners building solutions for enterprise merchants
- Developers integrating with external inventory management systems
- POS solution providers requiring advanced inventory capabilities
