How does the Feature work?
“Onboarding Franchises by Invite” is allowing franchisors and franchisees to add their locations to the Franchise Suite Dashboard in an easy hassle free way thus foregoing the need of inviting each franchisee to the dashboard to add locations manually. The feature pulls all the necessary information about the location automatically as soon as the Franchisor or Franchisee is prompted to add their Square Credentials via the invitation or via the dashboard.
