Foursquare submission limitations

Foursquare submission limitations

Synup adds/submits all the location information that is added on the dashboard to all the partner sites supported for your respective location regions.

However, sometimes the partner sites themselves have various restrictions, which we cannot over-write. Added below are the parameters submitted on Foursquare and the restrictions proposed by them.

Note: Foursquare no longer accepts ‘service area businesses’ (businesses without addresses), The Foursquare community will flag your account if they continue to find these types of venues.
