Start here for businesses
Sniffopotamus holds the facts about perfumes: brand, name, strength, year, perfumers, the brand's own words, and the note pyramid with a picture of every ingredient. A business uses them on its own site, app, shop or posts.
Every business starts the same way, and connects the same way as every other business: there is no private door.
- Sign in at sniffopotamus.com, as the person who owns the business.
- Ask us to set up your business record. Today a person at Sniffopotamus does this by hand: email sniff@sniffopotamus.com with your business's name and the email address you signed in with.
- Create a key yourself, in the Builder Console at sniffopotamus.com/dev/console. Only the owner sees the keys for now; staff accounts come later.
- Your server asks for cards and shows them on your pages.
Getting started walks through all four.
Prices are not published yet. The apps owned by Sniffopotamus's owner are not charged; every other business is by arrangement for now.
