Locations represent your physical stores, pop-ups, or event spaces inside JeriCommerce. You can use them to run location-based notification campaigns and manage devices that interact with customers in person.
Shopify Location Sync¶
JeriCommerce automatically syncs your locations from Shopify, so you don't need to add them manually.
Once synced, you can use these locations in your campaigns or link devices to them.
Custom Locations¶
If you have a location that doesn't exist in Shopify — like a pop-up shop or an event booth — you can create it directly in JeriCommerce.
Go to Locations¶
Open Customers > Locations in the JeriCommerce admin.
Add a new location¶
Click Add Location and fill in the details: name, address, and coordinates.
Save¶
Your new location is ready to use in campaigns and device management.
Devices¶
You can link physical devices to your locations to interact with customers in-store.
iBeacon
iBeacons are small Bluetooth transmitters that detect when a customer is nearby. When a customer with your wallet pass walks into range, JeriCommerce can show an on-screen notification on their phone.
Why iBeacons instead of geolocation? Geolocation triggers when a customer is roughly 100 meters away, which can feel too early. iBeacons are more precise — they only activate when the customer is actually inside your store.
NFC Readers
NFC readers let customers tap their phone to identify themselves — similar to tapping a card to pay. This works at the checkout counter, but also opens up other possibilities:
- Earn points on visit — customers tap when they walk in to earn points automatically
- Event check-in — simplify identification at events or activations
- Speed up POS — quickly pull up a customer's profile without searching
Each NFC reader is linked to a location and identified by a reader ID.
