Locations

The Locations API is designed to help merchants manage multiple points of sale, including both online storefronts and physical stores. Registering locations lets you differentiate and group your orders from different stores. You can also introduce custom business logic for each location, such as different inventory management, pricing, or shipping rules.

To start using locations, follow the relevant use case for your business:

Online locations​

1. Register an online location using the Create a location endpoint, setting the type to online.
2. Configure your custom processes on your backend for each registered location (e.g., grouping orders, custom pricing, etc.).
3. Send the location_id parameter in the request body during order creation to assign the order to a specific location.

Physical locations​

1. Register a physical location using the Create a location endpoint, setting the type to physical.
2. In case of Revolut POS, our system handles order creation including location_id to associate the order with your location.

Fast checkout for multiple storefronts​

Locations are particularly useful for tailoring the user experience on each of your online storefronts, especially when using features like Fast checkout.

For example, if you operate two online stores with different shipping rules, you can register two separate online locations. By then using the location_id to register a distinct address validation endpoint for each one, your backend can apply the correct shipping logic and pricing for the specific storefront a customer is buying from.
