In portal systems, partner data can be managed independently. Most of this data is only required if you're using incert’s partner display features, such as: https://gutschein.steiermark.com/partner

This article is intended for portal operators with external partners – for example, a tourism association whose vouchers can be redeemed at various businesses in the region.

Procedure

In portals, the login is always created first—either via import or through the “Logins” menu item. Once created, the login appears under the “Partners and Businesses” menu item. There, you can edit the partner and enter additional data.

1. Create login via import or from the Logins menu
2. Edit partner in the Partners and Businesses menu

Commission

By default, the system uses the globally defined "standard commission rate" A, which reduces the amount due for payout to the partners. Usually, no partner-specific changes are necessary.

However, you may deselect the standard rate and define a partner-specific individual commission rate B. If a partner also sells vouchers, you can define a separate commission rate for sales C, which reduces the receivable from the sales partner. Whether VAT is shown on the partner invoice is configured system-wide. All commission rates entered are gross (incl. VAT if applicable).

For cross-border portals: If a partner is based abroad, you can deactivate VAT display using the "Commission is tax exempt" checkbox D. In that case, only the net portion of the (gross-entered) commission rate will be calculated.

Bank details

If you generate a SEPA file in incert for payouts to partners, a valid IBAN and BIC are required per partner. For domestic payments, the BIC is not required. In that case, enter "NOTPROVIDED" into the field to still generate a valid payment file.

Filter categories (for partner page)

If categories have been created to filter the partner display, you can assign them per partner. Below is an example using redemption and sales categories from https://www.brueckenzehner.online/partner. Alternatively, filters can be created by sector or industry.

Texts and images (for partner page)

For each partner, text and images must be entered for the partner display:

1. The partner’s name is entered in the "Display name in webshop" field
2. The text shown below that is entered in the "Partner description" field. Avoid copying formatting like font or size—use the formatting tools in the admin area.
3. The text in the "Your contact person" block is entered in the "Partner contact information" field. We recommend entering the address and business hours.
4. At least one image is required per partner, which is also shown in the partner list. Upload this as the "Partner image" in the "Graphics" block. Additional images can optionally be uploaded as "Partner photo 0", "Partner photo 1", etc. For best display, use consistent aspect ratios and aim for image sizes below 100 KB.

Google Maps (for partner page)

If a map is used on the partner page, we first need your Google Maps API key for integration. Each partner also requires latitude and longitude coordinates. You can find these using Google Maps or tools like https://www.gpskoordinaten.de/#google_vignette.

Example: Find coordinates using www.gpskoordinaten.de/#google_vignette
