Acceptors

**Menu:** Platform Admin → Business Management → Sales Network → Acceptors

Central registry for all acceptors on the platform — create, edit, approve, and remove.

Prerequisites

1. Acceptor management permission in platform admin.
2. Target club known for each acceptor.
3. Trades defined in marketplace for category linking.

Page layout

• Title Acceptor management — “Register, edit, and approve acceptors”.
• Buttons New acceptor and Refresh.
• Filters: search (name, code, mobile), status (pending / approved / rejected / suspended), active flag.
• Table: row #, Business name, Acceptor code, Manager, Status, Stage, Active, Trades, Registered, Actions (view, delete).
• Row click opens detail drawer: Info, Approval workflow, Trades tabs.
• New acceptor wizard: Manager info → Business info → Panel password.

Step-by-step

1. Open Sales Network → Acceptors.
2. Click New acceptor; enter manager first name, last name, and mobile.
3. Business step: Trade name, contact, address, discount %, settlement days, IBAN, logo if needed.
4. Optional final step: Merchant panel password (min. 6 characters).
5. Save — initial status is usually Pending.
6. Open Approval workflow → Approve acceptor or Reject with a written reason.
7. In Trades tab, add categories and Approve or Reject each.
8. Temporarily disable via Active column or detail view.

Tips and common issues

• Approved and Active are independent; an acceptor can be approved but inactive.
• Without merchant password, the shop owner cannot use Merchant Panel.
• Always write a rejection reason.
• Deletion is irreversible — prefer inactive first.

**Menu:** Club Panel → Sales Network → Acceptors

Club managers and authorized staff manage acceptors for their club — the main onboarding page for new shops.

Prerequisites

1. Acceptors option active on the club.
2. Role with create / edit / delete as needed.
3. Required trades available in the club.

Page layout

• Title Acceptor management with total count.
• Add acceptor (if permitted).
• Seven stat cards: Total, Active, Pending, Approved, Rejected, Suspended, Trades pending.
• Search and status filter.
• Table similar to admin with club-scoped rows.
• Detail modal: approval, trades, merchant password, rank, discount settings.

Step-by-step

1. Open Sales Network → Acceptors.
2. Review Pending count on stat cards daily.
3. Add acceptor or open a pending row.
4. Complete business and banking fields; set discount and settlement terms.
5. Assign trades and approve each category.
6. Set merchant panel password and share securely with the shop owner.
7. Toggle Active when ready for public listing.
8. Use Rejected with clear reason if documents fail.

Tips and common issues

• Pending trade approval blocks full discount visibility.
• Changing mobile affects merchant login — coordinate with the shop.
• Rank labels are cosmetic but help members spot premium partners.
• Export or note acceptor code for support tickets.

**Menu:** User Portal → Services drawer → Discounts

Members discover approved acceptors and their offers here — browse by work group and trade, search by name, view contact and discount details.

Prerequisites

1. Member signed in (some clubs allow guest browse — club-dependent).
2. Acceptor approved, active, and linked to at least one trade.

Page layout

• Search bar and category navigation (work group → trade → acceptor list).
• Acceptor cards: logo, name, discount badge, address snippet.
• Detail view: phone, map link, discount terms, website if configured.

Step-by-step

1. Open Discounts from the drawer or a Home shortcut.
2. Pick a category or search by shop name.
3. Tap an acceptor for full details.
4. Use Call or Directions actions when available.
5. For online shops, follow link to Shop tab if integrated.

Tips and common issues

• Missing shop → not approved, inactive, or no trades — contact club support.
• Discount % shown is indicative; final price may depend on product rules.
• Portal list may lag a few minutes after club activation — refresh.

After club activates acceptor with online shop:

1. Confirm merchant panel password set and communicated securely (not email plain text if policy forbids).
2. Share Merchant Panel URL and login instructions (mobile + password).
3. Merchant completes Shop settings — logo, return policy.
4. Merchant adds Products — club approves if trade requires.
5. Test member purchase with internal account before public launch.

Settlement awareness for club managers

Rank and discount strategy

• Rank (bronze/gold) helps members spot strategic partners — do not over-assign gold.
• Discount % on acceptor profile is marketing default; SKU prices may differ in shop.
• Review acceptor list quarterly — deactivate closed businesses promptly.

• Lifecycle: register → approve → link trades → activate → optional merchant panel.
• Approval controls visibility; Active controls temporary shutdown.
• Club panel is day-to-day; platform admin is cross-club oversight.
• Members use Discounts, not acceptor management pages.
