Branding Management in Blackpurl allows a dealership with multiple business entities to assign each entity its own logo, contact details, and disclaimers. When a transaction is processed for a particular entity, Blackpurl prints or emails that entity's branding on all relevant documentation — including Customer Invoices, Packing Slips, and Vendor Orders.
​

Branding lets you define separate Branding Locations within a single Blackpurl account — one for each business entity at your dealership. Each Branding Location stores its own logo, contact details, and document settings.
​

For example, a company called Price Dealership might operate three distinct business entities — Price SHOP 1, Price SHOP 2, and Price SHOP 3 — all running on the same Blackpurl account. By setting up a Branding Location for each shop:

Accounting integration note: If your dealership uses Accounting Integration, all Branding Locations connect to a single accounting package as configured under System Settings > Accounting Integration. It is not possible to connect different Branding Locations to different accounting packages.
​

Branding Management must be enabled by Blackpurl Support before your dealership can use it. Contact Blackpurl Support and request that the Branding feature be activated for your account. Support will enable it and confirm when it is done.
​

Once enabled, a Branding Management tile will appear on your System Settings dashboard. Your dealership is then responsible for completing the setup.
​

​Tip: If you cannot see the Branding Management option on the System Settings dashboard after the feature has been enabled, check with your manager — you may not have the required user permission. See User Permissions - Account Administration section (no longer available) for details.
​

Once you have access to Branding Management, complete the following steps for each business entity you want to set up as a Branding Location.
​

1. From the System Settings dashboard, click Branding Management.
​

2. Click Add a new branding location.
​

​3. In the first section of the form, enter the details for the new brand — including the business name, contact information, and logo. The business details will default to your current business profile. Replace any fields that differ for this specific location, such as the address.
​

​4. In the second section, configure how you want documents to appear for this Branding Location. Work through the subsections in order and fill in your requirements for Customer Invoices, Service Jobs, Disclaimers, and any other document types shown.
​

​5. Click Create to save the new Branding Location. It will now appear in the list of active branding locations.
​

​6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each additional brand, entity, or location you need to set up.
​

Once Branding Locations are set up, Blackpurl will prompt each user to select their Branding Location the first time they process a Customer Order.
​

1. When a user performs an action that generates a document — such as clicking Print to preview an invoice — Blackpurl displays a prompt asking which Branding Location to use.
​

​2. The user selects the appropriate Branding Location from the prompt, then clicks Confirm.
​

​3. The selected Branding Location is now saved for that user. All documentation generated going forward — including Customer Tax Invoices and Vendor Orders — will use that branding.
​

A user can change their Branding Location at any time by clicking change in the print dialog and selecting a different location.
