After creating an account and getting access to the dashboard, the next step is to create a test Brand (Merchant). This lets you create locations and add them to a Program so you can start tracking transactions.

The Brand object is used to aggregate locations.

Create Brand

To add a new Brand, go to the Brands page on the Fidel Dashboard, click the Add a brand button and enter a name. If you can't find the brand in the Fidel Dashboard, you can create a new one. Optionally, you can add a link to the brand website and logo (Note: the links cannot be added later using the Dashboard). You can also create a Brand with the API:

12345678910
curl -X POST \
  https://api.fidel.uk/v1/brands \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Fidel-Key: <KEY>' \
  -d '{
    "name": "Brand B",
    "logoURL": "https://example.com/logo.png",
    "websiteURL": "https://example.com/"
  }'

Image Upload Rules for the Dashboard

To ensure images render correctly in the dashboard, please adhere to the following constraints and recommendations when handling image uploads:

✅ Requirements

Max file size: 1MB
Min dimensions: 360x360 pixels

⚙️ Dashboard Behavior

The dashboard does not manipulate the uploaded image.
After upload, users can zoom and reposition the image, but no cropping or resizing is enforced. Bear in mind that zooming might decrease the image's quality.

🧠 Recommendations for Best Results

Use an image where the logo fills the 360×360 area or has minimal whitespace.
The uploaded image should be sharp and high-resolution.
Blurry logos typically mean the source image is low quality, or has been stretched without preserving aspect ratio.
