Locations and business settings
Manage locations, SLA defaults, branding, and driver-app configuration.
19 min read
Settings control how your business looks, which stores you run, and how the driver app behaves. Dispatch managers can run the board but cannot change these organization settings.
Locations
Path: Settings → Locations
Each location is a pickup point (store, kitchen, warehouse).
Create or edit
Required in practice:
Name
Street address
Map coordinates (lat/lng from lookup)
Optional: phone, hours-related notes, branding overrides—whatever your UI exposes.
Why locations matter
Manual and synced orders pick a pickup location
Board filters by location
Drivers go on duty for specific locations
Square store mapping targets Shipora locations
Permissions
Action: List / view · Owner: ✓ · Admin: ✓ · Dispatch manager: ✓
Action: Create / edit / delete · Owner: ✓ · Admin: ✓ · Dispatch manager: ✗
Business profile
Path: Settings (business / profile)
Typical fields:
Business name and public-facing identity
Branding (colors/logo where supported)
Default SLA / timing preferences
Other profile fields your plan exposes
Only Owner and Administrator can update.
Driver-app configuration
Path: Settings related to driver app / `driverAppSettings`
Owners and Administrators configure behaviors such as:
Proof of delivery mode (off / optional / required)
Whether routes appear in the driver app
Notification-related options
Dispatch managers cannot edit this JSON/config; they live with what Owner/Admin set.
Users and drivers
Users — invite Administrators and Dispatch managers (Owner/Admin)
Drivers — invite mobile drivers; Dispatch managers *can* manage drivers
See Create your business and invite your team.
Integrations
Square — OAuth + store mapping (guide)
Shipora API — Partner API keys under integrations (Pro / plan-gated); docs at app.shipora.com/docs/api
Reports
Performance and related reports are available to Owner and Administrator (not Dispatch manager). Tips and other report tabs follow the same role gates unless noted in-product.
Checklist after changing settings
New location has a correct pin on the map
Drivers reassigned if you renamed/replaced a location
Square remapped if store IDs changed
Tell drivers if POD or routes settings changed
