This article serves as a guide for users to learn how to import and export locations.

In Carriyo, a Location represents a physical shipping location. At least one Location needs to be setup at the time of account creation to be able to execute certain tasks such as creating manifests and other important actions.

Typically, most account types in Carriyo require setting up Locations to facilitate shipping from and to specific points — for Forward and Reverse shipments respectively i.e., freeform addresses are not allowed.
