Frequently Asked Questions

Can each franchise location have its own ordering access?

Yes. Each location gets its own portal with approved products. Franchisees can order within set limits, and all orders are visible to the franchisor.

How do you handle billing for franchise networks?

Glim supports both centralized billing (franchisor pays) and distributed billing (each franchisee pays). You can mix models by product category.

Who issues the invoice for orders in the network store?

Glim, on every order. When a franchisee buys for its own unit, the NF-e (Brazil's electronic invoice) goes to the unit's CNPJ and the franchisor doesn't appear on it. When the franchisor is the buyer — opening kit, network campaign — the invoice goes to its CNPJ. There is no resale or re-invoicing between the franchisor and the franchisee.
