The **Locations** tab under [Settings](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/settings-overview.md) manages your stores or branches. A location is more than an address, it is the unit that ties everything together: * **Scans are recorded against a location**, so your [analytics](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/card-analytics.md) are split by store. * Locations power **geo-notifications**: a customer's phone can surface their card when they are near your store. * Each location decides **which cards it runs** and generates its own **sign-up links**. * Each location is a **billing unit** on PRO, and can be **delegated** to a manager (see below). This tab is available to **admins** (all locations) and **managers** (their assigned locations only). ![The Locations settings: the Create Location tile first, then a card for each store with its name, address, a grey line with Geo on or off, how many cards use it, and Edit.](https://mintcdn.com/vexioncards/xywnqSa-q_yL-0cW/images/settings-locations.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=xywnqSa-q_yL-0cW\&q=85\&s=5de7d1a5d59a715a8d0059df024ee655) The Locations tab Each location shows as a card, and **every card has the same size**, including the **Create Location** tile, on a phone and on a computer. The **name has its own line**, up to three lines: a longer name ends with "..." (the full name is in **Edit**). Under it you see: * the **address** (up to two lines), * a badge row, only when there is something to show: the things that need you: **Past Due** or **Returning to you** (a delegated location whose manager has not paid, see [Delegated billing](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/billing-delegated.md)), **Check** (a POS branch waiting for your confirmation), **Finish setup** and **Billing is being finished**, * one grey line with the facts: the **POS** the location is linked to, **Delegated**, and **Geo on** or **Geo off**, * **Used on N card(s)**. The **Create Location** tile is the first tile of the grid, so you never scroll down to add a location. At the bottom of each card is **Edit**. The **...** button at the top right of the card has **Delete**, see **Delete a location** below. On PRO the window shows what you pay today and from the next renewal, see [Per-location pricing](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/billing-locations.md). You can delete a location while its cards are still on. With **only one location** there is no **...** button: your last location cannot be deleted. A location that is linked to a POS or has sales history cannot be deleted. Re-link it to another POS branch instead. A POS connection that still has linked locations cannot be removed until they are re-linked. The only exception: it is the last location where one of your cards runs. Then switch that card on at another location first. If the location is connected to a POS, or has sales history, VEXiON does not delete it (message: "This location is linked to a POS or has history"). Deleting it would cut the sales history and the billing link. If the till or branch was only replaced, link the new branch to the location instead (see POS Mapping below). Only VEXiON support can remove a protected location. A location that is the **only** location of a Manager or Scanner cannot be deleted either. The message names the people: give them another location, or remove them under [Team & roles](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/team-and-roles.md), and then delete it. You also cannot delete a location when it would leave you with no active location. The message says "No active location would be left": activate or add another location first. Managers can view and edit their locations, but they cannot add or delete locations, change the team, or use the Delegated Billing toggle. ## Delete a location 1. On the card of the location, click the **...** button (**More actions**) at the top right. 2. Click **Delete**, then confirm. ![The Locations tab with the menu of a card open and Delete shown in red.](https://mintcdn.com/vexioncards/XwZxB7Lpht5iJzLJ/images/location-delete-menu.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XwZxB7Lpht5iJzLJ\&q=85\&s=56cbab0eb9df67f8b7af45dade641ba6) Delete in the card menu The **...** button is not shown when you have **only one location**: your last location always stays. Managers do not see it either. ## What's inside a location Open **Edit** on a location to manage everything about it: ### Details and geo-notifications * **Location Name.** It cannot be empty. From 80 characters a counter shows how many of the 100 you have used. * **Address** (search for it), with a **map** under it that you can drag to fine-tune the exact position, this is the centre of the geo-notification zone. The address and the pin only change when you pick another address or move the map yourself. * **Google listing**: picking your business from that same address search also connects the store's **Google listing**. That is what the [review link](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/google-review.md) on your cards uses, so a location without one cannot give its customers a review page. To attach it to a store that is missing it, open **Edit** and re-pick your business from the search. * **Enable geo-notifications** toggle with its **Push Message** right below it: the message a customer sees when they come near this store (up to 500 characters, for example "Store nearby! Stop by for a discount 🎉"). ### Cards using this location A list of **all your cards**, each with an on/off **toggle**. A brand new location starts with **every card enabled**, with the hint: **"All your cards will be enabled at this location. You can turn individual cards off later in the location settings."** Turn off the ones you do not want available there, rather than switching things on one by one (some integrations manage this automatically instead, so a location they create for you may start with only the one card it needs). This controls which cards are tied to the location, for attribution, for the sign-up links below, and for what the [Scanner](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/using-the-scanner.md) can actually do at the till: a card that is off here cannot be earned or redeemed by staff working at this location. Two rules keep these switches sensible: * **Every location keeps at least one card.** Switching off its last card shows **"A location needs at least one card"**. If you no longer use the location, delete it. * **Every card keeps at least one location.** Switching a card off at its last location shows **"The card ... must stay on at least one location"**, with two ways out: **Pause card** (new customers can no longer join, current members keep using it) or **Archive**. A paused or archived card that still has members keeps one location too, so they can use what they collected. ![A dialog: the card must stay on at least one location, with the buttons Keep it on, Archive and Pause card.](https://mintcdn.com/vexioncards/xpkXKQ_5xTKL6e-C/images/location-card-needs-location.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=xpkXKQ_5xTKL6e-C\&q=85\&s=9ecc527bab61c4f4f82006b464a0bd2f) Switching a card off at its last location > [!TIP] > > Running a seasonal or temporary card? Pause it when the season ends instead of switching it off everywhere. Members keep their stamps and points, and you can switch it back on next time. ### Registration Link For each card you have **enabled** above, this section gives you a **location-specific sign-up link**, so customers who join at this store are attributed to it. For each enabled card you get: * **Share**: opens the Share window with this location already picked. Download the QR code, the poster, the social story or the stickers for this store, see [Sharing & Enrolling Customers](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/sharing-a-card.md). * **Copy Link**: the link to share online, in an email, or on social media. Gift cards link to their purchase page, every other card to its sign-up page. > [!NOTE] > > The Registration Link section only appears once you **enable at least one card** for the location ("Enable cards above to generate signup links"). Each link is tied to that card **and** this location. ### POS Mapping If a [POS integration](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/integrations.md) is connected, this links the location to the right POS place so sales sync to the correct store. It shows "No POS system connected" until you set one up. Connecting a POS and mapping its branches works on a **computer only**, and only for admins. A new POS branch that becomes a location is paid by you, the owner. Delegate it to a manager afterwards if they should pay (see [Delegated billing](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/billing-delegated.md)). A branch or till that is **not mapped yet keeps giving points**, with the same rules as your other locations. If it is still unmapped after 28 days, VEXiON adds it as a new location. **Changed till or branch in the POS?** Sometimes a branch in your POS is replaced by a new one (for example a new till or a new branch id). VEXiON then shows the new branch in the mapping window with a **Check** badge and by default offers **Link to existing location**, with the location it replaces already picked. Keep that choice to keep the sales history of the location. Choose **New location (a different shop)** only when it really is a different store. A linked location shows the **Check** badge until you click **Confirm** on it. ![The Location Mapping window for Dotykačka: a POS branch with the Check badge, a note that the old branch no longer exists, and Link to existing location selected with the location it replaces.](https://mintcdn.com/vexioncards/qjEUYS7WBY21lQhU/images/pos-mapping-check-relink.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=qjEUYS7WBY21lQhU\&q=85\&s=2bc73c53b46d200cffa8e01ee84304b6) A replaced POS branch waiting for your check ### Team & Billing * **Team**: the staff assigned to this location, shown as chips with their role (for example "Anna · Scanner", "Peter · Manager"). Assign people here or from the [Team](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/team-and-roles.md) tab. * **Delegated Billing** toggle: when on, the **assigned manager pays for this location independently through their own subscription**. See [Delegated billing](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/billing-delegated.md). ## The many ways to add and delegate a location VEXiON gives you several routes to the same result, use whichever fits how you are working: **To add a location:** * **Locations tab → Create Location.** * **Billing tab → Locations card** shows the price per location and your next payment. See [Per-location pricing](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/billing-locations.md). **To delegate a location to a manager:** * **On the location itself**: open Edit, assign the manager under Team, and turn on **Delegated Billing**. * **When inviting a manager**: on the [Team](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/team-and-roles.md) tab, invite them as a **Manager**, assign their location(s), and choose which of those to delegate. ## Locations and your plan **VEXiON cards ONE** includes **one** location. On **PRO**, you can run multiple locations, each priced on a [graduated scale](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/billing-locations.md). On ONE, the first tile says VEXiON ONE allows 1 location and offers **Upgrade to PRO**. On PRO there is no fixed limit: when you add a location beyond the number you pay for, the Create Location window shows the price you pay today and the price per location. If your bank asks you to confirm the payment, you confirm it in the same window, and the location works at once. A payment you leave open appears on the **Billing** tab, see [Per-location pricing](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/billing-locations.md). Accounts billed through Shopify or on a plan managed by VEXiON see a **Contact us** prompt to add more locations. > [!NOTE] > > For how per-location billing is priced, see [Per-location pricing](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/billing-locations.md).
