Business profile:
name, country, language.

The three umbrella settings above every location. Where to find them and what they change.

One business, many locations. Settings on the business profile apply across every location you run. Settings on a location apply to that one shop only.

Your business profile is the umbrella above everything else in nouz. It holds the few settings that should be the same regardless of which shop you're logging from — your name, your country (which sets default formats), and the language the whole app speaks. Get these right once at signup and you rarely touch them again.

01 Where it lives

Open Settings → Business profile. The card at the top of the page holds your three umbrella settings — name, country, and display language. Editing any of them and clicking Save applies the change immediately, with a green toast in the bottom-right confirming the save.

02 The three fields

  • Business name. Shown in the Home tab header, every email we send, and every Stripe invoice. Use whatever's on your invoices — brand name is fine.
  • Country. Sets the default tax rate and the date / number format for new locations. Per-location overrides exist if you operate cross-border.
  • Display language. English or German. Changes the whole UI — tabs, buttons, error messages, emails.

None of these are permanent. All three can be changed any time, and changes apply immediately. Your historical data isn't affected by any of these settings — only the display.

03 Business vs location settings

Some settings are per-business (one value for your whole account), others are per-location:

SettingPer-business?Per-location?
Business name✓—
Country✓ (default)✓ (override)
Display language✓—
Currency✓—
Tax rate✓ (default)✓ (product-level override)
Transaction fee %✓—

The rough principle: things that make sense across the whole brand (name, currency, language) are per-business. Things that differ shop-by-shop (country if you're cross-border, tax rate per product) can be overridden lower down.

04 Changing settings later

Each of the three fields has different implications when you change it:

  • Changing the business name is purely cosmetic — updates the header, the next email, the next invoice. No data effect.
  • Changing the country changes new defaults (tax rate, format) without touching past entries.
  • Changing the language takes effect immediately across the whole UI and emails. Reload may be needed for some pages to pick it up.
Stripe invoices use the saved name at billing time. Renaming your business won't retroactively change historical Stripe invoices — they capture the name at the moment they were issued. Future invoices use the new name.
