STEP 5 - ADD NEW STORES (from Google Places)

Once you've added your Company Logos & Icons, the final step is to add some of your retail stores/branches to the Platform. Your Google Maps API Key is required for this step. If this was not added during Platform (Installation, you can add this now).

1. Click on STORES / BRANCHES in the Left Hand NAV Menu

2. You will see the below POP-UP MODAL that allows you to add your initial test stores/locations

3. Your ${BrandName} will be used to find some close-by Stores OR select Add Stores Manually to add each store/branch manually

4. Tick all the Stores that you would like to Add

5. Select 'Add Stores' CTA

6. Each of the selected Stores will be added to the Platform

7. We recommend editing each of the Stores you just added. Remove the Brand Name and also add your organisation's Unique Store Code to each Store. PLEASE NOTE: A Store Code is required when adding Retail Admin users to the platform. A Store Code is required to associate store managers/staff users to their respective specific stores.

8. Click on the Store's Name in the 'Stores/Branches' Table to see the Store Details page (see screenshot below)

9. Delete Your Brand Name from the Store's Name

10. Add your Organisation's Unique Store Code for the respective Store

11. Select 'Save Changes'

12. Repeat steps 8 - 11 for each Added Store

PLEASE NOTE: When using the Platform in a Production Environment, we recommend that you rather connect to Google via the Google Business Profile API (as this will ensure that when you update store data within the platform, this will get synchronised with Google Maps/Places).
