Retail Stores Settings

Manage retail store locations in AIQ. Configure store names, URLs, advanced settings, integration mappings, and customer-facing store sort order.

Updated this week


Your retail location settings (fka retail store settings) are where you set up your individual stores to manage customer interactions and data syncing for each location.


Retail Stores List

  • ID: The store ID is used to target stores when creating audiences/campaigns/etc. Target personas who have a unique store ID set as their favorite store for easy audience creation, as opposed to using store names.

  • Name: The Store Name includes the internal store identifying name, the publicly visible name, and the address.

    • Store name is used to identify your store in AIQ.

    • Store nickname is the publicly visible store name shown to customers.

How to Add a New Retail Store

  1. Obtain store-specific credentials from your POS and upload them on the appropriate integration card. See Integrations.

  2. Add your new location in AIQ by heading to Settings > Company Account > Retail Stores > New Store.

  3. Fill out the necessary information:

    • Online Shop URL: Make sure you're using the URL for that store's particular online menu and not the URL for your main website.

    • Nickname (store): The store nickname is used to identify the store from the customer's perspective. Used when filling #{{favoriteStore}} macro in campaigns and when viewing in the wallet or app.

    • Store phone number: Customer-facing phone number for store support.

How to Customize the Store Sort Order (to show in favorite store drop-downs)

You can arrange your locations in any order you prefer. This custom sort will automatically appear anywhere your store list is used, including Favorite Store drop-downs in signup forms, surveys, and more.

  2. You can change the sort order 2 ways:

  3. Use up/down arrows and/or input a number in the order column. Sort order will auto-save.

  4. Sort by the Location column and then click the button "Save Current Order".

  5. Done! The new order will be reflected anywhere the store list is shown.
