<h2>What franchises are for</h2><p>Franchises are useful when several subaccounts should follow the same loyalty structure or brand rules.</p><p>Examples:</p><ul><li>A franchise brand with many locations</li><li>A restaurant group with shared loyalty templates</li><li>An agency managing similar programs for multiple businesses</li></ul><h3>How to think about it</h3><table><thead><tr><th>Item</th><th>Purpose</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Franchise</td><td>The shared structure or group.</td></tr><tr><td>Franchise card template</td><td>The reusable card setup.</td></tr><tr><td>Subaccount</td><td>The individual business using the template.</td></tr></tbody></table><h3>Steps</h3><ol><li>Open the agency dashboard.</li><li>Go to <strong>Franchises</strong>.</li><li>Create or open a franchise.</li><li>Add shared card templates.</li><li>Assign or connect the right subaccounts.</li><li>Review how the template appears inside each subaccount.</li></ol><h3>Best practice</h3><p>Use franchises when consistency matters. If each business needs a completely different card, a normal subaccount card template may be simpler.</p><h3>Before rolling out</h3><p>Test the shared template in one subaccount first. Confirm branding, reward rules, join flow, and scanner behavior before expanding it to more businesses.</p>

Use franchises to share card templates across multiple subaccounts while keeping each business workspace separate.
