In Builtfirst, storefront owners decide who can view discounts and join their marketplace at any time. This is all customized in the Access tab on the Storefront Settings page.
Storefront Settings
Clickpath: Manage Storefronts > Go to Storefront > Settings > Access
Storefront Visibility
Storefront visibility determines whether someone must create a Builtfirst account to see any discounts. Note that visibility only refers to what users can see - there's a separate setting to determine whether these same users can click buttons to redeem/request quotes from vendors.
Open - Login or sign up isn't necessary to view products, deals, or integrations
Closed - Login or sign up is necessary to view products, deals, or integrations
Additional Settings
The following options appear only if a storefront is set to Open visibility:
Customer accounts
Accounts required - Login is necessary to access redemption CTAs
No accounts needed - Login isn't required to access the redemption CTAs
Deal instructions
Filtered - Redemption instructions can only be viewed by logged in users
Unfiltered - Redemption instructions can be viewed by site visitors (i.e. anyone that finds your storefront url)
š” The Redemption Instructions section of deals includes unique/sensitive promo codes and CTA links/vendor contacts. Most storefronts do not make this publicly visible.
Storefront Policy
Open to all - Anyone that can see the storefront can redeem products, deals, or integrations
All require approval - Buyers must be approved by your team before they can redeem products, deals, or integrations
Domain Policy
Yes, extract domains and auto-group buyers based on them - If multiple users with the same email domain join your storefront, we'll put them in the same organization
No, don't extract domains and auto-group buyers based on them - Users with the same email domain will be listed under separate organizations in your storefront
Customer Accounts
Customer accounts determines whether someone must create a Builtfirst account before they can try to redeem discounts or request quotes from vendors. This option is disabled if your marketplace has closed visibility.
Accounts Required - Customers will need an email and password to redeem
No Accounts Needed - Customers will only need a verified email to redeem
Why are emails required even when selecting No Accounts Needed?:
Emails are used to tie users to your analytics so you can see who is redeeming discounts and when. If a discount requires personal followup from the vendor to apply it, they'll reach out to the email address entered when users request the deal.
