Locations: How to manage them

Synchronize your location from your Shopify locations and add devices as needed

Shopify Location synchronization

JeriCommerce allows you to effortlessly maintain the same locations you have on Shopify for your physical stores, pop-ups, or any other type of proposal.
We automatically synchronize your Shopify locations and prepare the essential information for use in JeriCommerce.
You can utilize this information in your location campaigns or to manage devices at those locations.

It is important to understand that this is a one-way synchronization.
This means that any changes made on the JeriCommerce side will be reflected on Shopify, but only changes from Shopify will be reflected on JeriCommerce.

Custom locations

If you prefer not to add a specific location on Shopify, you can create locations on JeriCommerce. These locations will not be synchronized with Shopify and will only exist on the JeriCommerce side.
They have the same functionality as those on Shopify. The only real restriction is that no POS device can be linked to the store, as Shopify's POS devices are only synchronized with Shopify locations.

Devices

The devices are a great feature for loyalty proposes, let's revise the different devices that you could use it inside locations:

iBeacon

The iBeacon is a Bluetooth-based technology that allows us to display on-screen notifications when a customer is nearby. Why are they great and sometimes better than geo-location?
They can be more space-restrictive, meaning you can show the on-screen message only when the customer is inside the store, rather than when they are 100 meters away, which can sometimes be annoying.

NFC Readers

This feature is only relevant for JeriCommerce Enterprise subscribers, as it is a premium offering.
With these devices, customers can be identified with a tap, similar to how people are accustomed to paying with a card. This functionality is not limited to identifying customers at the cashier; it also enhances engagement flows.
For example, customers can tap when they visit the store to earn points, or it simplifies identification during events.
