“Location Types” act as templates that determine how all locations of a certain type interact with a “Site”. “Location Types” typically represent each distinct type of location used to sell products, but does not represent a discrete address associated with an individual location. We can associate a location with any number of location types.Common examples include “Distribution Centers”, “Retail Stores”, “Vendor Locations”, or “Kiosks”. By grouping locations into these “types”, we can apply rules, such as shipping logic or inventory settings, to all types at once, rather than configuring every store individually. “Location Types” act as templates that determine how all locations of a certain type interact with a “Site”. “Location Types” typically represent each distinct type of location used to sell products, but does not represent a discrete address associated with an individual location.
