Premium plans support unlimited stores, making it easy to manage multiple locations from a single account. This guide covers setting up and managing a multi-store operation.
Overview
Each store in Trikome is independent:
- Separate product catalogs — Each store has its own products
- Separate collections and menus — Content doesn't cross between stores
- Separate devices — TVs link to specific stores
- Separate team access — Control who can access which locations
This separation is intentional — different locations often have different inventory, pricing, and display needs.
Creating Additional Stores
To add a new store:
- From your dashboard, click the store selector in the header
- Click Create New Store
- Enter the store name (e.g., "Eastside Location")
- Add the address (optional, for your reference)
- Click Create Store
You'll be switched to the new store's dashboard, ready to add products.
Switching Between Stores
Use the store selector to navigate between locations:
- Click the store name in the header
- Select the store you want to manage
- The dashboard updates to show that store's content
Content Strategy for Multiple Stores
Option 1: Completely Separate Content
Each store has unique products, collections, and menus.
Best for: Locations with different inventory or distinct branding.
Workflow:
- Build each store's catalog independently
- Create location-specific collections
- Design menus tailored to each location
Option 2: Shared Product Strategy (Manual)
Currently, Trikome doesn't have automatic product syncing between stores. If your stores carry similar inventory:
Workflow:
- Build your catalog in one store
- Recreate similar products in other stores
- Keep pricing and details consistent manually
Automatic product syncing across stores is a frequently requested feature. Check our blog for updates on upcoming capabilities.
Option 3: Shared Menus with Location Variants
Some brands want similar menus across locations with minor differences:
Workflow:
- Design your "template" menu in one store
- Recreate the structure in other stores
- Adjust products and collections per location
Team Access Across Stores
When you invite team members, you can specify which stores they can access:
| Access Pattern | Use Case |
|---|---|
| All stores | Regional managers, owners |
| Single store | Location-specific staff |
| Subset of stores | District managers, area leads |
See the Teams and Roles guide for detailed permissions information.
Example Multi-Store Team Setup
| Team Member | Role | Store Access |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Owner | All (automatic) |
| Regional Manager | Manager | Downtown, Midtown, Eastside |
| Downtown Lead | Manager | Downtown only |
| Midtown Staff | Employee | Midtown only |
Devices Across Stores
Each device links to a specific store and menu:
- A device at your Downtown location links to the Downtown store
- It can only display menus from that store
- To change which store a device serves, unlink and re-link it
Moving a Device Between Stores
If you relocate a TV:
- Go to Devices in the old store
- Remove/unlink the device
- Switch to the new store
- Use the 4-digit code on the TV to link it to the new store
Billing Considerations
Premium billing is per-store, with monthly or yearly options:
- Each store beyond your first requires an active Premium subscription
- Choose monthly ($30/store) or yearly ($300/store, saves $60/year) billing
- Manage all subscriptions from Account → Billing
If a store's subscription lapses, devices for that store will show a subscription notice. Menus won't display until the subscription is renewed.
Best Practices for Multi-Store Operations
Consistent Naming
Use clear, consistent store names:
- Good: "Trikome - Downtown", "Trikome - Airport District"
- Avoid: "Store 1", "My Store", "New Store"
Documentation
Keep notes about your setup:
- Which menus are used at which locations
- Team member responsibilities per store
- Device locations and purposes
Regular Audits
Periodically review each store:
- Remove unused devices
- Update outdated products
- Verify team access is current
- Check subscription status
Troubleshooting
Can't see all my stores
Check that:
- You're logged into the correct account
- You haven't been removed as a team member from some stores
- Store subscription is active
Content looks different between stores
Each store is independent. To achieve consistency:
- Manually replicate products and collections
- Use similar collection names and structures
- Follow a documented style guide
Device won't link to a specific store
Verify that:
- You've selected the correct store before starting the link process
- The device isn't already linked to a different store (unlink first)
- The target store's subscription is active
