Locations
One dealership account can still have more than one lot — keep addresses accurate.
Purpose
Locations under Settings store lot / store addresses used for inventory placement, calendar context, and buyer-facing address blocks when multi-store is enabled.
Open in app: app.flashfender.com/settings/locations.
Setup
- Complete Business settings (legal entity and primary licence).
- Open Settings → Locations.
- Add each physical lot with a clear label (e.g. “Main lot”, “North storage”).
- Set the primary location buyers should recognize on paperwork when only one address prints.
- Align staff: which location new Active units default to.
Daily workflow
- Intake — assign units to the lot where they sit (Inventory).
- Transfers — update location when a car moves yards; do not leave stale lot tags.
- Calendar / test drives — use location when the appointment is off the main desk.
- After a lease change or rebrand, verify printed BOS / invoice still show the correct street address.
Key fields
| Field | Notes |

Canadian notes
- Province on the location should match where the unit is offered for sale when disclosures and tax lines depend on it.
- Multi-province operations: confirm with your accountant which HST/GST registration prints — Business settings remains the tax identity source of truth.
