Setting up your business branches/locations

When you sign up for a merchant account, the business details that you provide are used to setup your main business location on the Tellofy platform. By default, all reviews would be collected for this main business.

On the platform, business locations are also referred to as stores, events or entities.

In case you have multiple branches/stores/events, it is recommended that you set each of them up separately so that reviews can be collected and analyzed individually. A unique survey URL can be defined for each location, which can then be shared (via its link or QR code) with people to obtain feedback/reviews.

Managing Your Locations/Events/Entities

Login to the platform and go to Build-> New Locations/Events/Entities menu. All business locations that are available for your account will be listed on the screen.



From this screen you can:

  • Add a new location
