Creating Locations for Ship Central
Create locations to which you can associate items and orders. If you ship items out of a location, provide its complete address details, including the attention line, addressee, and phone number.
Before you can pack or ship orders through the app, you must choose a location. The app filters the orders that you can pack or ship by location. When you print shipping labels, Ship Central obtains the ship from address from a location's address details. If you set the preference for returns, it also obtains your return address from this record. For more information, see Shipping Address Validation.
To create or update location records through the Import Assistant, see Importing CSV Files with the Import Assistant or Location Import.
