# Types

> Classify locations as Warehouse or Store

Location types let you categorize your fulfillment locations. Use types in constraints and routing rules to target specific location categories.

## Available types

| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Warehouse** | Distribution centers, fulfillment centers, 3PLs |
| **Store**     | Retail stores, showrooms, pop-up locations      |

  <Step title="Choose type and save">
    Select **Warehouse** or **Store**, then click **Save**.
  </Step>

## Using types in rules

Once set, you can target locations by type in your constraints and routing rules.

**Example filters:**

* `Location type` → `Warehouse` — rule applies only to warehouses
* `Location type` → `Store` — rule applies only to stores

<Tip>
  Combine types with tags for more granular targeting. For example: type = Store + tag = "paris-region".
