Account Setup : MapMyStores : Online Retailers

← Account Setup

If you want to display logos and links to your online retailers, you can enable and control them directly inside of TurnLink.  They can be returned based on location and/or products carried, and can display the logo of your choice, while linking to your landing page within that online retailer's site.  For example, you can set Amazon to always show up no matter the zip code, but gopuff to only show up in the 7 mile radius of the DCs/locations that carry your items.

On Setup > MapMyStores > Edit, for the Instance you want to enable Online Retailers, you can select where you would like them to appear, whether on the Top or Bottom of the Brick and Mortar List, or overlaid on the Map. You can then assign the Tag which is tied to the Company that signifies it should show in the Online Retailers section of MapMyStores on your website. We recommend using 'Store:Internet'.

Once enabled, to turn on the individual locations, follow these instructions.
  • Enter the Company Overview of the Online Retailer record you would like to display on MapMyStores, or add it via 'Companies > Add New' if needed.
  • Assign the Tag 'Store:Internet' to the Company Overview, which is not required to be the Primary Tag.
  • Set the MapMyStores Status to 'On'.
  • From the MapMyStores button menu, click 'Edit'.
  • For the logo which is displayed for that retailer either:
     - Click 'Upload' and browse for the logo, and TurnLink will add it to your integrated Google Drive and create a shareable link....
     - Add the https URL of the logo you want for that retailer, which you will host on your server and/or Google Drive or some other server.  
  • Add the https URL of the Link where you want your customers to land on the Online Retailer's website specific to your brand.
  • Perform an Audit - For Online Retailers, you are required to update which Products are sold by them so this can be accurately reflected. If your Online Retailers are being updated automatically from 3rd Party Distributor Reports, then you do not need to do this part as it should be kept up automatically (eg goPuff through UNFI).
