If you’ve multiple RMH stores installed on multiple environments Order Manager module can be implemented on each environment and linked to their respective store. Once an order is placed for a certain location this solution can then be configured to download orders from Shopify for that specific store location only and have it processed in RMH before uploading the fulfillment to Shopify. Such an implemented solution structure, therefore, ensures that orders are processed in their respective RMH store and inventory is deduced subsequently at the right location. Hence, with this system implemented you can manage online orders for different locations and ensure the inventory in each RMH store is accurate.

Also, furthermore, if the items are out of stock at all the locations the solution allows you to mark the item as archived so that it doesn’t appear as sold out at any location. This allows the webstore management to offer a more intuitive and user-friendly navigation experience to their site visitors by showing them only items that are available.
