Adding a second
location.

When one shop becomes two. The plan you need, where to add it, and what stays separate.

Plan-gated. Starter is 1 location. Growth is 3. Pro is 5. Upgrading mid-month is prorated by Stripe and takes effect immediately.

The moment you open shop number two, you need a second location in nouz so the daily numbers stay clean. Two shops sharing one P&L is a mess — you can't tell which one's carrying the other, and Statistics insights become meaningless. Two locations side-by-side under one business is the right model.

01 Check your plan first

On Settings → Subscription, the location cap is shown next to your current plan. If you're on Starter and click + Add location, nouz prompts you to upgrade before continuing. Upgrade takes 30 seconds — Stripe checkout, confirm, the new cap applies.

Growth covers up to 3 locations; Pro covers up to 5. If you're running more than 5 shops, contact support — we can discuss a custom plan, though most of our customers fit within Pro.

02 Adding the second location

  1. 1
    Open Settings → Locations

    You'll see your first location at the top and a + Add button below.

  2. 2
    Click + Add location

    Opens the same form you used for the first location.

  3. 3
    Name, country, save

    Three fields. Save and the new location appears in the location picker in the header.

  4. 4
    Switch to it

    Click the picker (top-right on every tab) and select the new location. Every tab below it now scopes to that shop.

After adding, walk through the per-location setup: add the fixed costs for the new shop (its own rent, its own staff base salaries), and create its products. Even if both shops sell the same things, the products are per-location — each can have its own COGS if your suppliers differ.

03 What stays separate

Each location is genuinely its own world. Nothing crosses over:

  • Revenue entries. One location's sales never appear in another's P&L.
  • Expenses. Each shop's variable costs belong to that shop.
  • Fixed costs. Add rent under each location separately — they don't share a fixed-cost pool.
  • Products. Even if you sell the same SKU at both shops, the product catalogue is per-location. We may unify this later — for now it keeps the COGS-per-location flexibility.
  • Statistics. Each location has its own insights, ranking, calendar. No cross-location aggregates today.

04 What's shared

A few things sit at the business level — above all locations:

  • Login. One email and password for all your locations.
  • Settings, billing. One Stripe subscription covers everything; one set of business-profile settings.
  • Currency and default language. Per-business.
No cross-location P&L view today. If you want consolidated numbers across all your shops, you'll need to export each location's monthly P&L separately and sum them in a spreadsheet. Cross-location reporting is on the roadmap.
