Store Sign Up Guide

Get the most out of the Game Haven Guild ecosystem!

Step 1: Create Your Personal Game Have Guild Account

Start by creating a free personal Game Haven Guild account in the app or on the website. This account is tied to you as the store owner or manager and will be included in the information we will use to verify store ownership and manage permissions later.

• Available on the Google Play store or at www.GameHavenGuild.app. Coming to Apple soon…

• One person = one account. Other staff members can create their own person accounts and you will be able to add those accounts as employees once your store is verified.

• Fast track your store verification by using an email address with the same website as your publicly listed website (example: @gamehavenguild.com if your website is www.gamehavenguild.com

  • No problem if your email isn’t the same as your website, but verification may take longer.

Step 2: Claim Your Store

Once logged in, press the My Store button on the menu page and submit the form to claim your store.

• Owner/Manager Information is not public but will be used as part of the verification process

• Verification can take up a few business days depending on if the information provided meets verification criteria or if a call is required to finalize verification.

Step 3: Set Up Your GHG Network Profile

Benefits of the GHG Network include:

• Import your store calendar to your website, allowing you to manage your calendar in one place.

  • Video Tutorial: Import Calendar to Your Webiste (Shopify)

• Access advanced Market and Store analytics on the aggregated industry check-in trends and followed games.

• Use the Store Owner forum to talk to other verifed store owners on business challenges and have direct access to GHG staff to discuss improvements and the direction of the ecosystem.

Once verified, if you press the same My Store button on the menu page, it now takes you to the Store Dashboard. By clicking the Advance button, you will see a 20 digit code unique to your store.

Go to www.GHG.network and create a new account, using your unique 20 digit code to link your Game Haven Guild store to the GHG Network.

• This is a seperate system from the app, you will have to create a new account, not log in with your gamehavenguild.app account.

• One code = one account. The 20 digit code can only be tied to one account.

Step 4: Display Your Unique QR Code In Store

During the verification process, your store is assigned a unique QR code. It is found on your store dashboard to view or download for printing and display in your store.

When customers check in to your store via your unique QR code, they unlock a personalized experience to enhance their relationship with your store.

• They see your announcements and games in their followed feeds and have it prioritized for creating or joining matchmaking games.

• Game Haven Guild runs national drawing promotions where one check in = one entry.

• Stores have the ability to run instore giveaways for events.

• Non-identifiable, aggregated check in data gives you new insights into traffic patterns and game interests of your local gaming community.
