## Primary Purpose

A location is a place you operate from — a store, warehouse, or service point. It carries its own address, hours, and fulfillment rules. See [Locations](/docs/concepts/admin/locations) for the underlying concept.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Contact & address">
    Name, public name, description, full address, email, phone, and the location's time zone.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Opening hours">
    Set regular weekly hours, seasonal hours for date ranges, and exceptions for specific dates (open with custom hours or closed).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sales channels">
    Enable or disable the online store channel for this location.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Fulfillment & returns">
    Per purchase type — rental, sale, subscription, buyback — choose which methods are allowed: in-store handover, shipping, and local delivery. Returns use the same per-type rules.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Fulfillment hours">
    Set separate pickup and return hours for this location, independent of opening hours. Choose from three modes per schedule: follow opening hours (the default), offset from opening hours by a buffer, or define a fully custom schedule. The storefront uses fulfillment hours to determine which pickup and return times customers can select. See [Fulfillment hours](/docs/concepts/admin/locations#fulfillment-hours).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Checkout configuration">
    Each location can be assigned a specific [checkout configuration](/docs/settings/checkouts). When a customer selects this location on the storefront, the assigned checkout is used instead of the storefront or tenant default. Manage assignments in the [storefront editor](/docs/sales-channels/online-store/theme-editor/pages/checkout).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Auto-assign & default">
    Choose whether incoming orders auto-assign to this location, set its active status, and mark one location as the default.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
