  • About transferring stock between locations

    You can transfer stock from one location to another, transfer individual items, or move your inventory in bulk.

    Before you begin

    In order to transfer stock between locations, you need to assign location availability to each item. Location availability can be assigned when you create and edit items or bulk import items.

    Transfer stock and view past transfers

    1. Sign in to Square Dashboard and go to Items & services (or Items & menus or Items & inventory) > Items > Item library

    2. Click Actions > Transfer Stock. From here you can begin your stock transfer.

    3. Select both the source and destination locations.

    4. Choose the items to transfer and enter the transfer quantity. Take note of the current source location stock levels to ensure you have enough stock to support the transfer.

    5. Click Complete Transfer.

    Once you complete the transfer, you can view the order information at any time — including location details, product name, date and time — all from your History log. Each transfer is assigned a unique transfer number to help identify past transfers.

    To filter your history to only view item transfers, click All Adjustment Types and deselect all filters except Transferred.
