Follow the above-mentioned workflow to land on the Locations screen.
To add a new location, click the Add location button.
This reveals a list of fields for the details of the location and geo-push message to be recorded.
Use the Location Name field to enter the name of the location.
Enter the address of the location in the Location Address field. As you type, the suggestions are auto-populated. After entering the address in the address field, click on the auto-populated field below the address bar.
Use the pin on the map view to set the exact location on the map.
Select the card(s) to which you want to associate this location and geo-push message using the Apply to Cards field. Click on the plus sign to select the cards you want to add this location and geopush message to.
Enter the geo-push message in the Push Message textbox. This push notification is sent to all the users within 330ft of the selected location.
Once the details are recorded, click the Add button. This adds the location and displays it in the list.
✅ You can add as many locations as you want based on the capacity of your account. Each subaccount on the highest plan can add up to 10 locations. However, extra locations can be added once the limit has been exhausted for a fee.
✅ Please note: Geolocation push notifications cannot be swiped off the iPhone screen. This push notification will disappear from the screen as soon as the client leaves the geo push radius.
✅ Please note: If geolocation is changed (change text or address) or deleted, updates will only be applied on the map after the map is updated. The card is updated after a transaction (add or debit) or after receiving a push message (manual or auto-push).
✅ Please note: You can't change the radius. The push notification is sent when a customer enters a fixed area. This radius is set by the system and cannot be adjusted.
✅ Please note: You can't limit how many times it's sent per day. Customers will receive the push notification every time they enter the set area — even if that happens multiple times a day.
