Shop Location
Connect Shopify native locations with your app's custom locations to display them in the Store Availability block.
How it works: By default, the Store Availability block shows only Shopify native locations, since they are directly connected to product inventory. After connecting locations, the block will display your custom location information while using stock data from the linked Shopify location. This allows customers to see accurate availability along with your custom location details.
Custom Pin
