The location detail form

The location form is grouped into sections. Only one field is required — Location business name. Everything else is optional and can be added later, so you can save a working location with just a name.

Basic information

• Location business name (required) — the site's business name. It must not be empty; this is the only field that blocks Save.
• Nickname (optional) — a short label shown in lists and pickers, handy when you have several sites.
• Business description (optional) — a longer description of the site.

Business address

• Location type (optional) — what kind of site this is. Three options:

  • Physical location — a fixed trading site (a shop, café or restaurant).
  • Mobile location — a van, stall or pop-up.
  • Online — a web-only sales channel with no physical premises.

  Location type does not set your venue style — that's done by Modes. It just records what kind of site this is.

• Address lines, postal town, postcode (all optional) — the site's address. There's no postcode format check; any text is accepted.

Contact information (optional)

Email and phone for the site.

Social media (optional)

Website, X, Instagram and Facebook.

Default mode (optional)

Which operating mode a device at this site boots into before anyone picks one. Devices that already have a mode keep it. The empty value is Inherit business default (Standard) — leave it there to use the standard mode.

This section only appears once you've created at least one mode. A brand-new merchant with no modes yet won't see it at all — and that's fine: the location still saves, and devices fall back to the business default (Standard). Leaving default mode unset never blocks Save. See Modes.

Business day (only for venues that trade past midnight)

Business day starts at — for a venue that stays open after midnight. Sales and cash counts made before this time are filed under the previous day, so a Saturday night that runs to 2am stays on Saturday — in End of Day, the Sales report, the daily sales email and the cash count. (The till's own on-device reports, and a few specialist reports such as Tips and stock usage, still use midnight for now.)

• Pick a time between 00:00 and 06:00 (half-hour steps). 03:00 suits most late bars.
• Midnight (standard) / Same as your main location — leave it here and nothing changes. A second venue on this setting follows your main location.
• ⚠️ Changing it re-files this location's past figures under the new day — including monthly and VAT-period totals — so a figure you exported before may read differently afterwards. Reports run live (a little slower) until the overnight rebuild finishes.

This section only appears once we've switched business day on for your account. Ask support if your venue trades past midnight.

Bank information (optional)

This whole section is optional — you can add it now or later, and leaving it blank never blocks Save.

• Transfer account — a free-text label for the bank account your payouts from this location go to. It's a note for your own organisation, up to 120 characters.
• Transfer tag — a short free-text label (up to 120 characters) you create to categorise payouts from this location — for example "Main venue" or "East Street café" — so you can tell transfers apart in your bank.

Business ID numbers (optional)

VAT number and company number for this site.

Branding

Branding for a location has its own card on the page — pick which branding set this site uses, or leave it on your default. It no longer has a separate "Save branding" button: your choice is stored by the page's one Save, along with everything else on the form. See Branding.

Saving

The whole form has a single Save, in the bar at the top of the page. It stays greyed out until you change something, and the bar shows Unsaved changes while you have edits pending. One click saves every section — basic info, address, contact, default mode, bank info and branding together.
