Ship From Location Module
By default, WebAlliance allows you, as an Admin, to set the Default Location for each user. Guest accounts (non-logged-in users) are assigned the website's Default Location.
You can choose to enable the Ship From Location Module which allows users to set their own Default Location value. This value is involved in many factors across the website, including pricing, inventory display, shipping estimates, and order imports.
Logged In User Behavior with the Ship From Location Module
When enabled, the Ship From Location Module allows logged-in users to update their own Default Location. They can do this via the "Manage Ship From Location" tool in My Account.
If the user changes their Default Location, the "Customer Notes" section of the Miscellaneous tab of their User Detail page will be updated.
NOTE: The only available locations to the user are those marked as "Display on Pickup" in the "Inventory/Pickup Locations" Admin tool.
Anonymous User Behavior with the Ship From Location Module
By default, WebAlliance assigns the website's Default Location to each anonymous user. When an anonymous (not logged-in) user views a Search Result, Category, or BrandSupplier page when your site employs the Ship From Location Module, they'll be prompted to allow "Location" access in the browser, and then select their location, based on a Zip Code search.
If that anonymous user goes on to sign up for an account during their session, their selected Location will be assigned as their account's Default Location value.
