Manage Stores

Paytm payouts simplify the multi-store management for merchants for use cases such as employee salaries, vendor payments, expense management like utility bill payments, rent payments, scheduling EMI’s, insurance, service dues etc. The store is any physical property, owned or rented by or for the business. 

The ‘Manage Store’ section helps the businesses to organize and associate the expenses for each store separately.

Paytm payout has no restriction on store creation, hence the stores can be created for all types of properties- commercial, residential, self-owned, rented, etc. Specific users(business employees/partners etc.) can be associated with specific stores. The users can hence be associated with roles made for each store. For Example, some employees (users for the payouts dashboard) can be tagged to the role of a store manager, store staff etc for a particular retail store/ shop owned by the business.
This way each business can add all the rented and owned units in the payouts dashboard and also have multiple users with set rights and restrictions. Each user can then be tagged to each store.

A merchant can create as many stores as required and there is no limit to store creation. To create a store, follow the steps below:

1. On the left main menu, go to 'Manage Stores'.
2. Click the 'Add Store' button.
3. Select the 'Store Type', i.e. commercial or residential property.
   • For commercial property, select a type further such as office, retail, industrial etc.
   • For a residential property, select the type if it is an apartment or independent house
4. Fill in the details as mentioned after the type of property is selected. The details also confirm if the property is rented or self owned. In case of a rented property, mention contract start and end dates and details of the rent per month. Re-verify all the details provided.
5. Click the 'Add Store' button at the bottom of the form.
   The new store can be seen in the list view under 'Manage Stores' including the Store Name, Store Id, Store Location and Store Ownership.

Stores once created can not be deleted but can be edited in case of change of address, change of ownership etc. For editing the existing store details, follow the steps below:
