How to Work with Default and Overseas Warehouses?
There are 2 different types of warehouses on Joom:
- Default warehouse.
- Overseas warehouse.
The Default warehouse is the warehouse that is generated by default at the moment of creating the merchant's account. The default warehouse always coincides with the merchant's origin.
The Overseas warehouse is the one located in any country other than the merchant's default country in order to ship international orders as fast as possible.

Can a Default Warehouse be Configured?
No, you already have a default warehouse created for you on the Warehouses page in your Joom account. You don't need to create another one.
PLEASE NOTE:A warehouse in your country is considered to be a default warehouse, therefore you don’t need to create an overseas warehouse for your country if you want to ship orders from there. |
