# Inventory Location Considerations

When syncing your product data, Shopify will combine the available inventories from all [locations](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/fulfillment/setup/locations) for each [variant](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/variants). The available quantity of a variant will be the aggregate of all available quantities across your locations. If you only utilize a single location this will not be an issue, and may not be an issue even when you operate multiple locations if you can fulfill from each one.

\
If you do however require that inventory is only synced from specific locations this can be accomodated. Please let your channel account representative know that you have this requirement and the inventory location filter will be applied to your account.

{% hint style="info" %}
*Please note: This filter plays no role in order orchestration. During order creation, Shopify doesn't allow Violet to provide a preferred location ID in our request. Once Violet sends an order to Shopify for creation, it's Shopify who decides which location to actually pull the inventory from; developers have no say in this step.*
