Teams often work across multiple functions such as sales, finance, customer service, and technical support, each requiring different levels of access and responsibility. To address this, Foloosi provides a Sub User feature within the Merchant Panel.

This feature allows merchants to create dedicated user accounts for team members with customized, role-based permissions.

How Businesses Can Make Use of Sub Users 

  • A main merchant who owns a business opens multiple locations, For example 5 different branches. Instead of managing everything separately, the owner is set as the main account holder, and each branch can be structured under this single merchant account. Sales persons or branch managers are assigned under each location to handle daily operations smoothly.
  • The merchant then creates sub user accounts for each employee working across these locations. Every staff member such as cashiers, sales persons, accountants, or branch managers gets their own login access based on their role. This helps ensure that each employee has controlled access only to the tools and features they need for their specific work.
  • The main merchant can monitor everything from a single dashboard. This includes viewing all transactions, sales reports, payment activities, and overall performance across all branches. Since each sub user operates under assigned permissions, the business gets better control, improved security, and clear visibility of all operations in real time.

The Sub User feature in Foloosi Merchant Panel is a powerful tool for managing teams efficiently and securely. It allows businesses to create structured access for employees, reduce operational confusion, and improve overall control of business activities.

By using role-based permissions and centralized monitoring, merchants can ensure smoother operations, stronger security, and better scalability as their business grows.
