Understanding Kolavio

What is Kolavio?

Kolavio is a platform for local, physical businesses to bring together their public business information, manage offers and, when useful, collaborate with creators. It distinguishes online activity from customer visits that have actually been verified.

Is Kolavio a marketplace for hiring creators?

No. Kolavio is not a directory where businesses browse creators and buy exposure. When a business opens an offer for creator applications, interested creators can apply and the business decides which applications to approve.

What kinds of businesses can use Kolavio?

Kolavio is designed for businesses with a physical customer location, such as shops, salons, gyms, restaurants, cafés and other local service businesses. Website illustrations are examples, not a restriction on who the platform is for.

Do I need to replace my current website?

No. Your Kolavio page works alongside your existing website. It brings together hours, contact options, offers and links to services such as booking, ordering and social channels without moving or replacing your website.

Do I have to work with creators to use Kolavio?

No. You can use your business page and create offers without creator collaborations. When collaborating makes sense, you can open an offer for applications. Available capabilities and limits depend on your current plan.

Business page and Kolavio link

What is a Kolavio link?

It is the address of your public business page on Kolavio. Customers can use the same link to find current information, offers and the external services you choose to link.

What can I display on my business page?

You can display your business profile, contact information, address, opening hours, offers and supported links, depending on what you choose to publish and what your plan includes.

Can I update my details after publishing?

Yes. You can update your business page from your workspace. Changing its content normally does not require sharing a new Kolavio link.

Can I link to booking, my website or online ordering?

Yes, where the relevant link type is supported. Kolavio brings these links together on your business page; the booking or order itself takes place through the linked service.

Offers

How do I create an offer?

Use Kolavio’s Offer Builder to add the content, choose the valid dates and preview how the offer will appear. You can save a draft and continue before publishing.

Can I schedule offers in advance?

Yes. You can set start and end dates to schedule an offer ahead of time. Its visibility depends on its status and settings.

Can I pause or end an offer?

Yes. Kolavio supports pausing, resuming and ending offers. Available actions depend on the offer’s current status and applicable rules.

Does every offer require a creator collaboration?

No. You can create a customer offer without opening it to creators. Creator collaboration is a separate option when setting up an offer.

Creator collaborations for businesses

How does a business find creators through Kolavio?

A business can open an offer for creator applications. Interested creators apply through that specific opportunity. Kolavio does not automatically choose a creator for the business.

Can I decide which creators to work with?

Yes. You can review applications and choose which ones to approve. Expressing interest or submitting an application does not automatically create an approved collaboration.

Can I set task, channel or compensation requirements?

Yes, within the options supported by the Offer Builder. You can describe the task and define relevant creator requirements and compensation terms before a collaboration is agreed.

Do I pay creators through Kolavio?

No. Kolavio records agreed compensation terms and supports follow-up and confirmation, but it does not transfer payments between the business and creator. Any compensation is handled directly between the parties.

What happens after I approve a creator?

The collaboration continues under the offer’s terms and the applicable workflow, such as preparation, booking where relevant, sharing tracked links and reviewing results.

For creators and Creator Circle

How can I start using Kolavio as a creator?

The usual route is to apply for an available creator collaboration. If your application is approved, you can activate or use your creator account as guided by the process. It is not an open directory of automatically assigned jobs.

Where do I publish my content?

You publish through the external channels agreed for the collaboration, such as social platforms or other approved sharing channels. Kolavio is not the platform where you livestream or publish your usual social content.

Why do I receive dedicated tracking links?

Tracking links help Kolavio associate recorded activity with the correct collaboration and channel. Use the corresponding link on its intended channel so the results are easier to interpret.

Can I see what my content contributed?

In creator results, you can review recorded clicks and verified visits attributable to your collaboration. These are not the same as social media views, revenue or guaranteed purchases.

QR, redemption and visit verification

Does every QR scan count as a verified visit?

No. A scan or click is not automatically a verified visit. Kolavio uses the relevant verification flow and its checks before a visit is recorded as verified.

Is my shareable business link the same as Counter QR?

No. The business link opens your public business page. Counter QR belongs to a separate on-site flow for recording and verifying eligible customer visits.

How is an on-site visit checked?

Depending on the flow, Kolavio can use location checks, time-limited proofs and protections against repeat use. A valid result requires the applicable verification conditions to be met.

Does staff have to confirm every visit?

No, not in every flow. Staff Verification is used when the selected process requires it. Not every QR verification requires staff action.

Can a visit be verified without a creator referral?

Yes. Organic visits and activity from other sources are kept separate from creator attribution. A verified visit is not credited to a creator simply because a customer used a QR code.

Tracking, analytics and results

What can Kolavio measure?

Kolavio can show business-page activity, recorded link clicks, selected customer actions, traffic sources and verified visits. Available views and capabilities depend on the account and plan.

Are likes, followers and views the same as visits?

No. Views and reactions on external platforms do not prove that someone visited a business. Kolavio therefore separates tracked online activity from visits that have been verified.

Can I see which channels bring activity?

When the correct tracking links are used, you can see recorded activity associated with the relevant channels and collaborations. Activity without that connection should not be attributed to a creator.

Can Kolavio show how many sales a collaboration generated?

Not as a general guarantee. Clicks and verified visits are defined metrics, but they do not automatically prove purchases, revenue or return on marketing spend.

Plans, reviews, privacy and help

Can I start using Kolavio for free?

Kolavio offers a free starting option for businesses. Your business account shows the current plans, included capabilities, limits and upgrade options.

Where can I see FREE, STARTER and PRO prices?

Current plans, prices and conditions are shown when you are signed in to your business workspace. Before confirming a purchase, you should be able to review the price, VAT, billing period and applicable terms.

Does creating an account mean I agree to a paid subscription?

No. Creating an account and actively choosing a paid subscription are separate steps. Applicable payment terms should be shown before you make a purchase decision.

Does Kolavio display Google stars and reviews on my page?

Where available, Kolavio can provide a link that takes customers to your Google Reviews. That does not mean Kolavio displays Google star ratings or published reviews on your business page, or confirms that a review was posted.

Is customer feedback the same as Google Reviews?

No. Kolavio customer feedback and problem reports concern experiences or issues in relevant Kolavio flows. Google Reviews are handled by Google. These are separate functions.

Where can I find privacy information or contact support?

Kolavio’s public website provides a Privacy Policy and controls for cookies and optional measurement. You can also reach Kolavio through the Contact page if you need help or have more questions.
