Sales grouping

Sales grouping controls how Stockie calculates demand when you have inventory in more than one location.

It determines whether Stockie treats demand as a single combined number across all locations, or calculates demand separately for each location.

How sales grouping works

Stockie offers two options:

Combined across all locations
Calculated per location

Your selection affects sales velocity and therefore forecast outputs like reorder points and suggested reorder quantities.

Combined across all locations

This method adds up sales from all of your locations for each variant and uses the combined total to calculate sales velocity.

Use this if:

You reorder centrally for all locations
Your purchasing is managed as a single pool

💡 Example: If Location A sold 20 units in the last 30 days and Location B sold 5, Stockie will treat demand as 25 units total.

Calculated per location

This method calculates demand independently for each location, based on which location fulfilled each order.

Use this if:

You reorder inventory separately per location
You want different reorder points or quantities per location
You manage wholesale and retail locations with different demand patterns

💡 Example: If Location A sold 20 units and Location B sold 10, Stockie will forecast demand separately for each location rather than combining them.

How fulfillment affects location demand

Shopify only records a fulfillment location after an order is fulfilled.

Because of this, Stockie can only attribute demand to a location once an order has been fulfilled.

This means:

Unfulfilled orders do not count toward demand for any location
Location-based demand becomes more accurate as fulfillments are processed
