What is Telshare, in one line? · What is Telshare?
Telshare is a transparent, global discovery platform where businesses connect their existing website and get found, and where people discover verified businesses, products and services through honest search — with clearly-labeled monetization and no hidden ranking.
What does Telshare actually do? · What is Telshare?
For businesses, it's a place to connect your existing website and grow with built-in Boost, transparent promotions, leads, analytics and a light CRM. For visitors, it's a fast, trustworthy way to search and discover those businesses and what they offer — in your own country, currency and language.
Who is Telshare for? · What is Telshare?
Anyone, anywhere. Small shops, service providers, restaurants, agents, creators and large brands can all publish. Customers worldwide use Telshare to find verified businesses and exactly what they sell.
What makes Telshare different? · What is Telshare?
Transparency. Ranking is openly published (relevance, engagement, trust, recency) with no hidden weights. The only way to buy visibility is a clearly labelled, capped “Sponsored” slot in search, never on the homepage. You can never buy a better organic rank.
Does Telshare take a cut of my sales? · What is Telshare?
No. Telshare is discovery, not a marketplace. We connect you to a business and step aside — we don’t process the payment or sit in the middle of the sale, so there’s no hidden commission and no conflict of interest.
Is Telshare free to use? · What is Telshare?
Yes. Searching and discovering businesses is free, and every plan, including Free, can connect a website. The plans are listed on the Plans page. Online payment for plans and add-ons isn't available yet, so nothing on Telshare charges you today.
How does Telshare protect my privacy? · What is Telshare?
Telshare is built for GDPR, CCPA and similar laws, and never sells your personal data. You can download your data at any time from Privacy. A request to erase your data is scheduled with a 30-day grace period, during which your account stays usable and you can cancel; after that Telshare staff carry out the erasure. Where businesses reach out to you, it is consent-based and you can opt out at any time.
Is Telshare available in my country? · What is Telshare?
Yes. Telshare is global by design: multi-country, multi-currency and multi-language, so businesses and customers around the world use it on the same transparent terms.
Create your Telshare account · Getting started
On the homepage choose "Create an account". Enter your email address, a password (8 or more characters), a name for your account and your country, and accept the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. We email you a verification code; enter it and you're in. Sign-up is free. Signing up with a phone number or a username isn't available.
Discover and follow businesses · Getting started
From the homepage, search or browse the discovery sections (Featured, Trending, Rising). Open any page to see details, then tap Follow to get that business’s updates in your Telshare Dashboard. You can also save pages and message businesses directly.

Sign in · Account & sign-in
Use Sign in with your email address and password. If you sign in from a device Telshare hasn't seen before, we email you to confirm it before access is granted. Platform staff also sign in with an authenticator app (two-factor).
Reset your password (emailed link) · Account & sign-in
Choose "Forgot password?" on the sign-in screen and enter your email address. We email you a single-use reset link, valid for one hour; open it and set a new password. An administrator can also send you a reset email from the Console.
Change your password or User ID · Account & sign-in
There is no in-account password change screen yet. To change your password, use "Forgot password?" on the sign-in screen and follow the emailed link. Changing your email address or user ID isn't available yet; contact support if you need it changed.
Sign out everywhere · Account & sign-in
You can sign out of every device at once with the sign-out-everywhere option, which ends all of your sessions. A per-device list of your own sessions isn't available to account holders yet; platform administrators can review and revoke sessions from the Console.
New-device login confirmation · Account & sign-in
When your account signs in from a device Telshare hasn't seen before, we email you to confirm or deny that sign-in before access is granted. Confirm, and the device is trusted; deny, and the sign-in is blocked.
Do I need special access to create a real account? · Account & sign-in
No — the Sign up button on any Telshare page (Home, Search, Dashboard, Studio and more) creates a genuine account with a real, secure sign-in, the same real system everywhere. Just an email and a password (8+ characters) to get started.
How search ranking works · Search & discovery
Telshare ranking is transparent — results are ordered by a published mix of relevance, engagement, trust and recency. There is no hidden ranking. You can see why a result appears, and the weighting is configurable by Telshare (shown openly), never sold.
What “Sponsored” means · Search & discovery
A Sponsored result is a clearly-labeled, capped paid placement that appears only in search — never on the homepage discovery sections. It’s Telshare’s single, transparent monetization. Promotions never change organic ranking.
Filter by region & language · Search & discovery
Use the region/language selector (top-right on the homepage and in the Search filters). Results, currency and relevance adapt to your country and language. You can broaden to national or global at any time.
Save searches & lists · Search & discovery
From the Search page you can refine with filters (type, rating, price, region) and keep useful results. Saved items and followed businesses appear in your Telshare Dashboard.
Start a promotion · Promotions & billing
In Studio → Promotions you create an offer for your customers: a title, a description, an optional discount code and a start and end date. Once published it is shown to visitors of your connected sites while it is inside its dates, and Studio counts its views and clicks. Paid visibility in search is a separate tool, Sponsored campaigns.
How sponsored pricing works · Promotions & billing
There is no published per-day rate or reach multiplier. A Sponsored campaign has a daily and a total budget that you set; its impressions, clicks and spend are recorded, and spend can never exceed the budget.
Invoices, receipts & billing · Promotions & billing
Online billing isn't available yet: there are no invoices, receipts or card payments on Telshare today. The plans and their prices are shown on the Plans page.
Report a page or a problem · Trust & safety
Use the Safety Center in your Dashboard to report a business, listing or behaviour. Reports go to Telshare's moderation queue in the Console, where staff review them and record the outcome.
Avoid scams & stay safe · Trust & safety
Verify a business before sharing personal or payment details, never share your password or one-time codes with anyone, and keep conversations on Telshare. If something feels off, report it. Telshare never asks for your password.
Community Guidelines · Trust & safety
Across Telshare we expect respectful, honest, lawful behaviour: no spam, scams, hate speech, harassment or illegal content. Businesses moderate the reviews and Community Q&A on their own listings, and anyone can report a problem from the Dashboard Safety Center.
Verified businesses · Trust & safety
A business that connects its website to Telshare proves it controls that site (Studio → Connect Your Website → Verify). Search lets you filter to verified businesses.
Is the Telshare chat assistant powered by a live AI model? · Trust & safety
No. The assistant answers from Telshare's own help knowledge base, which the Telshare team writes and approves and which is stored on Telshare's servers. It is not connected to any AI model. When it has no confident answer it says so and offers to put you in touch with support.
Download your data (GDPR/CCPA) · Privacy & data
Go to Settings → Privacy and choose “Download my data.” You’ll receive an export of the information associated with your account, in line with GDPR access and CCPA rights.
Delete your data (right to erasure) · Privacy & data
Under Privacy you can ask for your account and data to be erased. The request is scheduled with a 30-day grace period: your account stays usable and you can cancel at any time before then. After the grace period, Telshare staff carry out the erasure. Anything the law requires us to keep is retained.
Manage cookies & consent · Privacy & data
Use “Your privacy choices” (cookie banner) to Accept all or Decline all non-essential cookies, or fine-tune categories. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) and never sell personal data.
Sponsored ads & marketing preferences · Privacy & data
In your Dashboard you can adjust sponsored-ad preferences and opt in/out of marketing messages and newsletters at any time; reminders and comms respect these choices.
Does Telshare personalise my homepage? · Your homepage & personalization
No. The homepage is the same for everyone: a search box, businesses on Telshare and the newsletter box. It does not change with your searches or browsing, and it has no recommended or nearby section. Search results are matched to the country shown in the header, which is detected from your connection and can be changed at any time from the region picker; the country on your account is only shown on your account.
Can I share my precise location, and can I change my mind later? · Your homepage & personalization
When you choose “Use my location”, Telshare shows its own consent prompt first, explaining what is collected and that it is never sold. That happens before your browser’s permission dialog appears. Decline and nothing is collected. If you change your mind, open Privacy settings (the footer link or the shield icon) and choose “Review permission” to turn it on, or “Turn off” to revoke it. Either way it only ever applies with your explicit, current choice.
Can I subscribe to the Telshare newsletter? · Your homepage & personalization
Yes — look for the newsletter box right on the Home and Search pages (also on your Dashboard once signed in). Choose to receive it within Telshare (messages & notifications) or by email, and unsubscribe anytime from the same box.
What do the view counts mean? · Your homepage & personalization
Listings show how many times they have been viewed. The count is kept by Telshare's server, not estimated in your browser.
Can the homepage look and layout change? · Your homepage & personalization
Yes — an administrator can set a site-wide homepage theme (colour & type) and layout (hero alignment, columns, card style, density) from the Console. Signed-in visitors can still personalize their own look unless an admin has enforced one.
Does Telshare work on my phone and tablet? · Your homepage & personalization
Yes — Telshare is fully responsive and adapts to desktop, laptop, tablet and any phone (including notched devices), with touch-friendly navigation.
Telshare Studio (for businesses, creators & organizations) · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Studio is where businesses, creators and organizations connect their existing website and manage everything around it: promotions, leads, FAQs, resources, reviews, Q&A, the assistant's knowledge base, team roles and analytics. Studio doesn't build or host web pages; you keep your own website.
Can I sell / accept payments? · Studio, Dashboard & Console
No. Telshare does not handle payments — visitors contact you, request a quote, or visit your website, and you arrange payment through your own channels.
Are my pages secure (SSL)? · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Yes — every page, file and image is served over HTTPS with automatic SSL. Visitor contact is routed through Telshare (Message Center, CRM and support), not raw email, so threads stay tracked and emails stay private.
How does Telshare handle data protection (GDPR, CCPA, DPA)? · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Telshare complies with GDPR and CCPA/CPRA — access, export, correct and erase your data, and opt out of sale or sharing. We operate under a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for international transfers, secure all pages, files and traffic with HTTPS/SSL, and never sell your personal information.
How does Telshare search work? · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Telshare search covers only businesses and listings on Telshare, not the open web. Ranking uses transparent, published signals, and sponsored results are always labelled. Businesses can see what people search for that matches them (Studio → Search demand).
Does my account have an ID? · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Yes. Every Telshare account has a unique account ID, which support uses to find your account.
Whose branding shows on pages? · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Telshare's own pages (home, search, Dashboard, Studio and the rest) always carry Telshare branding, so you know you are on Telshare. A business's own website keeps its own branding: connecting it to Telshare changes nothing about how it looks.
What kinds of businesses can list on Telshare? · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Almost any. Telshare supports physical products, digital products, services, real estate and events, across standard industries with detailed categories and sub-categories, so businesses can list and be found accurately.
Will I get a quick answer if I message a business? · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Often. A business can write and approve answers in its own knowledge base. Its Business Assistant answers your question from those when it has a confident match, and otherwise passes your question to the business to answer.
Telshare Dashboard (for visitors) · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Your Dashboard collects the businesses you follow and message, your saved pages, notifications and announcements, plus privacy, security and activity controls — all in one place.
Telshare Console (for admins) · Studio, Dashboard & Console
The Console is the platform administrators' control plane: users and roles, moderation, analytics, content, settings, security and compliance. Most people won't use it, but it governs the platform transparently.
How do I leave Studio, Dashboard, Console or Inventory? · Studio, Dashboard & Console
Every one of these has a real “Exit to Homepage” option in its side menu. Clicking it always asks you to confirm first (with a “remember my choice” option if you’d rather skip that in future), and if you have unsaved changes in an open form, it warns you before anything is lost.
What is Telshare? · Platform FAQ
Telshare is a privacy-first, multi-tenant platform for businesses, organisations, professionals, creators and individuals. You connect the website you already run, get discovered through search, and manage customer relationships through messages, contacts and leads. Each account keeps secure data isolation and plan-based capabilities. In practice that means a public Home and Search for discovery, a Studio to manage your connected site and everything around it, a Dashboard for day-to-day operations and relationships, an Inventory system and an admin Console that governs the whole platform.
How does pricing work? · Platform FAQ
There are four plans: Free, Starter, Growth and Business. Every plan, including Free, can connect an existing external website through Connect Your Website. The Plans and Pricing page lists what each plan includes. Online payment for plans and add-ons isn't available yet.
Where are plans and pricing managed? · Platform FAQ
The Console is the single source of truth. Prices, add-ons and promotions set there are saved centrally and propagate to every front-end automatically.
What is Connect Your Website? · Platform FAQ
It lets you keep the website you already run, hosted wherever it is, and connect it to Telshare instead of rebuilding it. Paste your URL, tell us your platform (WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, GoDaddy or other), and Telshare shows where to paste one tracking snippet. You can also email it to your developer with one click. Once verified you get visitor analytics and an SEO audit of your site in Studio → Connect Your Website, and visitors on your site can message you through Telshare. Every plan, including Free, can connect at least one site.
I’m not technical — can someone else add the tracking snippet for me? · Platform FAQ
Yes. On step 2 of Connect Your Website, click “Email it to your developer”. It opens your email app with the snippet and platform-specific instructions already written, ready to send to whoever manages your site. You do not need to copy, paste or edit any code yourself.
What are feature entitlements? · Platform FAQ
The Console Feature Entitlements matrix defines which plan includes which feature. Surfaces such as Inventory enforce it, so changing a plan enables or disables the related features. Business includes everything by default; lower plans are gated where configured.
What is the difference between Sponsored Ads, Boost and Promotions? · Platform FAQ
Sponsored campaigns are paid visibility: clearly labelled placements in search, with a budget, country and category targeting, and results (impressions, clicks, spend). Boost is free: a small, capped lift in search for one of your websites or published posts, for up to 30 days, labelled “Boosted”. Promotions are offers such as discounts and codes, shown to visitors of your connected sites.
What is Boost and how is it different from Sponsored Ads? · Platform FAQ
A Boost gives one of your connected websites or published posts a small, capped lift in Telshare search for up to 30 days, and the result is labelled “Boosted”. Start one in Studio → Boost and stop it early whenever you like; each website or post can have one running at a time. A Boost has no budget and no charge. Sponsored campaigns are the separate, budgeted tool for clearly labelled placements in search.
How does Telshare Search decide what ranks? · Platform FAQ
Organic results are ordered by transparent, Console-set signals: relevance (how well a listing matches your search), engagement (its reviews), trust (its rating and whether it is verified) and recency. Sponsored results are separate and always labelled; they are not part of the organic score. Administrators tune the weights, filters and sort options centrally, and the live weights are shown in the "How ranking works" panel on Search.
Does Optimize include SEO? · Platform FAQ
Yes. Optimize reviews one of your connected websites and lists what to improve, using Telshare's SEO audit of that site (titles, descriptions, headings, structured data and more). It doesn't edit your website for you: you make the changes on your own site and then check again.
How do metadata, structured data and indexing work? · Platform FAQ
Your connected website stays hosted where it is, so its titles, metadata, structured data, sitemap and search-engine indexing remain under your control. Telshare doesn't generate sitemaps, submit pages for indexing or refresh a CDN for you. Its SEO audit reports what it finds on your site so you know what to fix.
Are Telshare pages fast, responsive and accessible? · Platform FAQ
Telshare's pages are served over HTTPS, are responsive on phones, tablets and desktops, and include accessibility basics such as landmarks, keyboard focus outlines and reduced-motion support. Photos you upload are compressed in your browser before they are sent.
How does Sponsored targeting work? · Platform FAQ
A Sponsored campaign can name a country and a category. A campaign that names a country is only shown to people browsing from that country, and one that names a category only alongside that category; a campaign that names neither can show anywhere. Every sponsored result is labelled Sponsored.
What controls do I have over sponsored listings I see? · Platform FAQ
You can set your own sponsored-ad preferences in your Dashboard, including switching sponsored results off. Sponsored results are always labelled. To report a sponsored listing, use the Dashboard Safety Center.
What is Telshare Sponsored Discovery? · Platform FAQ
Sponsored Discovery is how businesses pay for extra, clearly labelled visibility in Telshare search. A sponsored result is always labelled Sponsored, is capped in number, is only served while the campaign is active, inside its dates and within its budget, and is never shown to its own advertiser.
Can a business just pay to rank at the top? · Platform FAQ
No. Organic ranking can't be bought. Sponsored results are separate, always labelled Sponsored and capped in number; paying for a campaign never changes a business's organic position.
Do advertisers see or use my personal data? · Platform FAQ
No. Sponsored targeting is contextual: a campaign can target a country and a category, never an individual person. Businesses cannot access, export or buy your personal data through Sponsored Discovery.
How are advertisers charged? · Platform FAQ
Each campaign records its impressions, clicks and spend, and a charge that would take spend past the campaign's budget is refused outright. No advertiser is billed today.
Where do Sponsored Discovery results appear? · Platform FAQ
In search, where people are actively looking, always labelled Sponsored. Never in the admin Console.
How does Sponsored Discovery help my business grow? · Platform FAQ
Sponsored campaigns put a business in front of people who are already searching for what it offers. Studio shows each campaign's impressions, clicks and spend, and Search demand shows what people search for that matches you.
How long is my data kept, and can I control it? · Platform FAQ
Automatic data-retention schedules aren't available yet. You can download your data at any time from Privacy, and ask for it to be erased: an erasure request is scheduled with a 30-day grace period during which you can cancel. Tasks you delete in the Task Workspace can be kept in Trash for 30, 90, 120 or 180 days before they are removed.
What are my storage limits, and what happens if I reach them? · Platform FAQ
Each plan has a storage allowance for the photos you upload, set by Telshare in Console → Storage & Media (by default Free 5 GB, Starter 25 GB, Growth 100 GB, Business 500 GB). When you reach it, new uploads are refused; nothing you have already published is taken down. Buying extra storage isn't available yet.
How do leads work, and where do they go? · Platform FAQ
A lead is a person who might buy from you. Leads are captured from enquiries and tracked through their statuses in Studio → Leads, from first contact to won or lost. Exporting leads to an external CRM or webhook isn't available yet.
How do Contacts work? · Platform FAQ
Contacts in your Dashboard lists every business you have messaged or started a quote with, and you can keep private notes on each one. It is built from your real conversations, so it stays up to date on its own. Importing contacts from a file isn't available.
How does the Message Center work? · Platform FAQ
Dashboard and Studio each have a Message Center where you read and reply to conversations between businesses and their customers, and can mute a thread. Support requests are handled as tickets alongside it.
Is anything deleted automatically after 30 days? · Platform FAQ
Messages are not purged automatically. Automatic deletion applies to tasks you move to Trash in the Task Workspace, where you choose 30, 90, 120 or 180 days.
How do notifications work? · Platform FAQ
In-app notifications can be marked read, deleted one by one, or cleared all at once.
What is Community Q&A? · Platform FAQ
Visitors can ask public questions on a business page. The business and other members can answer, and posts and comments follow the Community Guidelines set for the platform.
How do reviews and ratings work? · Platform FAQ
Customers can rate and review a business. The business can publish or hide reviews on its own listing.
What are Telshare account credits? · Platform FAQ
Account credits are issued to an account by Telshare administrators and tracked in a ledger: issued, redeemed, revoked or expired. Buying credits, and paying for Sponsored campaigns with them, isn't available yet.
Does Telshare store my payment card details? · Platform FAQ
No. Telshare doesn't store card details.
How does Admin issue account credits, and what governs them? · Platform FAQ
In the Console a platform administrator can issue a credit to an account, and credits can be redeemed or revoked. Every change is recorded in the account's credit ledger, with who made it.
How do I manage my account and sign-in? · Platform FAQ
Sign in with your email address and password; new devices are confirmed by email. You can switch between the accounts you belong to from the account menu, and account owners can invite team members.
What privacy controls do I have? · Platform FAQ
From the Privacy button on every page you can give or withdraw consent per purpose (essential, functional, analytics, personalization, advertising) without bundling, opt out of the sale or sharing of your data, export your data for portability, request correction, restriction, objection or erasure, and see how your data is handled. Rejecting is always as easy as accepting, and we honour the Global Privacy Control browser signal.
Which privacy laws does Telshare follow, and how is consent handled? · Platform FAQ
Telshare is built to Privacy by Design and by Default, and is configured to align with GDPR (EU) and UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA (US), and privacy laws across Asia and the wider region such as India’s DPDP Act, Singapore’s PDPA and Australia’s Privacy Act, among others. Administrators set the consent model (opt-in, opt-out or notice), the consent purposes offered, the data-subject rights surfaced, the applicable regulations, retention, and the controller or DPO contact centrally in the Admin Console, so none of it is hard-coded. Each user manages their own choices, which take effect across the platform.
What security features exist? · Platform FAQ
Telshare uses email verification at sign-up, new-device confirmation by email, authenticator-app two-factor for platform staff, role-based permissions, rate limiting on sign-in, a 15-minute idle sign-out, an inactivity policy for dormant accounts, and audit trails visible to administrators in the Console.
What happens when I sign in from a new device or location? · Platform FAQ
If you sign in from a device Telshare hasn't seen before, the sign-in is held and we email you to approve or deny it. Approve, and the device is trusted and you're signed in; deny, and the sign-in is blocked.
What do I need to change my password, username, user ID or email? · Platform FAQ
To change your password, use "Forgot password?" on the sign-in screen: we email you a single-use link and you set a new password there. Changing your username, user ID or email address isn't available yet; contact support if you need it.
How are sessions, devices and login history managed? · Platform FAQ
You can sign out of all your sessions at once with the sign-out-everywhere option. Account holders don't yet have a list of their own sessions or login history. Administrators can view and revoke sessions from the Console.
How does the side navigation work? · Platform FAQ
Grouped side menus fold and unfold, right-to-left by default, with Expand all and Collapse all controls. Click a group header or press Enter or Space to toggle it. Fold direction and animation are configurable from the Console.
Where is help, and how do I give feedback? · Platform FAQ
The Help button in the corner of every page opens the Help Center, with FAQ, User Guide, Tutorials, Feature Tours, Support and Videos in one place. The Feedback tab on the edge of the page captures a star rating and an optional comment for the Console analytics.
Does Telshare sell products, or is it a marketplace? · Platform FAQ
No. Telshare is a business-presence, discovery and SaaS platform, not a marketplace, seller or merchant of record. It doesn't take part in any sale between you and a business.
How do I start selling on Telshare? · Platform FAQ
Telshare does not handle payments or orders — visitors contact you, request a quote, or visit your website. List what you offer with Create post, and connect your website so people can find it.
How do payments work — does Telshare hold my money? · Platform FAQ
No. Telshare doesn't hold, receive or transmit money, and there is no payment processing on the platform. You arrange payment directly with the business.
Who handles returns, refunds and warranties? · Platform FAQ
The business does, under its own policy and consumer law. Telshare doesn't process orders or payments, so returns, refunds and warranties are arranged directly with the business.
How does Telshare stay compliant with privacy law? · Platform FAQ
The privacy protections that apply across Telshare (consent, Do Not Sell or Share, Global Privacy Control and data-subject rights) apply to every business on the platform.

Is my Telshare sign-in a real account? · How-to guides
Yes. Every sign-in on Telshare is a real server-side account: your password is stored hashed and each session is a token issued by the server. Your account, plan, role, credits and usage limits are resolved by the server on every request, not by your browser.

1. In the Console, a platform admin opens the plan usage limits. 2. Edit any plan and metric, for example free-plan pages. The change applies to every account on that plan immediately. 3. Reset restores the metric to its original default, not to "unlimited".
Govern Studio templates, sections and Dashboard widgets (Console) · How-to guides
1. Open Console → 🛡 Platform Governance. 2. Pick a scope (platform default, a specific plan, an account or a role), then a tab: Template Access, Section Access, Dashboard Widgets or Studio Action Permissions. 3. Set a state (enabled, disabled, hidden, admin-only, read-only or approval-required) and a reason. Save writes it immediately and audits it. 4. Reset to Inherited removes your override and falls back to the next level up; the row shows which level is deciding right now. 5. Use the Effective Permissions Inspector tab to check any account, plan or role combination before you change anything.
Let an admin edit a merchant’s Studio safely (Edit in Studio as Admin) · How-to guides
1. A platform admin starts an impersonation session for the target account from the Console, with a reason (for example, a support ticket number). 2. This opens that account's real Studio; no fake membership is created, and the session is time-limited. 3. Every action taken during the session is audited under the admin's real identity. 4. End the session explicitly when done; the token stops working immediately.
Undo, redo and recover unsaved Studio edits · How-to guides
Studio no longer has a page editor: you connect your existing website instead, and your pages are edited on your own site. Undo, autosave and version history for page content therefore don't apply in Studio.
Contact and response times · Support & troubleshooting
Raise a ticket from the Dashboard or Inventory. Priority tickets are surfaced first, and typical first-response and resolution metrics are visible to administrators in the Console.
Billing, refunds and credits · Support & troubleshooting
Telshare doesn't take payments yet, so there is nothing to refund today. Account credits issued by Telshare are tracked in your credit ledger. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
Connect Your Website — troubleshooting · Support & troubleshooting
If verification does not detect your snippet, check two things. First, that it was pasted in the right place for your platform; Studio shows the steps once you pick WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow or GoDaddy, and "something else" gives a generic location. Second, that your site was republished or its cache cleared. Then click Verify connection again. If you'd rather not do it yourself, use "Email it to your developer". Analytics only populate from new visitors after the snippet goes live; past traffic is not backfilled.
Sponsored Discovery (Sponsored Ads & Boost) · Support & troubleshooting
Sponsored campaigns are budgeted, clearly labelled placements in Telshare search. A campaign can target a country and a category; it is only served while it is active, inside its dates and within its budget, and never to its own advertiser. Spend can never exceed the budget. Organic ranking can't be bought. Viewers can switch sponsored results off in their Dashboard preferences. Boost is separate and free: a small, capped lift for one website or post for up to 30 days, always labelled “Boosted”.
Account, sign-in and two-factor · Support & troubleshooting
Sign in with your email and password; new devices are confirmed by email, and platform staff also use an authenticator app. Switch between accounts from the account menu. Contact support if you are locked out.
Approve a new-device sign-in · Support & troubleshooting
1. Sign in from a device Telshare hasn't seen before. 2. Telshare holds the sign-in and emails you an Approve / Deny request. 3. Approve to trust the device and sign in; Deny to block the sign-in.
Optimize your website for search (SEO) · Support & troubleshooting
1. Open Studio → Optimize and pick one of your connected websites. 2. Read the SEO audit: what it found on your site and what to improve. 3. Make the changes on your own website. 4. Check again to confirm they took effect.
Change your password · Support & troubleshooting
1. On the sign-in screen choose "Forgot password?". 2. Enter your email address. 3. Open the single-use link we email you (valid for one hour). 4. Set your new password. Changing your username, user ID or email address isn't available yet.
Privacy and your data · Support & troubleshooting
Download your data at any time, or request erasure, from the Privacy controls; manage cookie and privacy choices from the controls on every page. An erasure request is scheduled with a 30-day grace period during which you can cancel it; after that, Telshare staff carry it out.
Data retention & storage · Support & troubleshooting
Automatic retention schedules for your data aren't available yet. You can download any of your data at any time from Privacy, and request erasure (scheduled with a 30-day grace period). Storage allowances for uploaded photos are set per plan in Console → Storage & Media (by default Free 5 GB, Starter 25 GB, Growth 100 GB, Business 500 GB).
Trust and safety · Support & troubleshooting
Verified badges and reviews build a business's reputation. Reviews and Community Q&A follow the Community Guidelines, and anyone can report a problem from the Dashboard Safety Center, which Telshare staff review.
Orders, returns, refunds and warranties · Support & troubleshooting
Telshare doesn't process orders. Returns, exchanges, refunds and warranties are handled by the business under its posted policy and applicable consumer law, and your statutory consumer rights apply against the seller.
Product safety and recalls · Support & troubleshooting
Businesses are responsible for the safety, labelling and lawful sale of their products and for acting on recalls. Telshare doesn't sell products and has no recall-notification service; report an unsafe listing through the Dashboard Safety Center.
Can each Homepage theme be edited independently? · Support & troubleshooting
Yes. Every Homepage theme created in the Console — Homepage Themes has its own separate configuration (hero, sections, colors, typography, SEO). Editing one theme never changes another, and only the single active theme affects the live Homepage; every other page is unaffected by any Homepage theme.
What is enforced by the server? · Support & troubleshooting
Sign-in and sessions, which account you can access, roles, plan entitlements, credits, usage limits, Studio governance, inventory, leads, messages and tasks are all stored and checked on Telshare's server, not just hidden in the page. A few personal display choices, such as which pages show this chat icon, are still kept in your browser.
Who can change credits and usage limits, and is it tracked? · Support & troubleshooting
Issuing, redeeming and revoking credits needs the role the server checks, not a client-side convenience. Changing a plan-wide usage limit (like the free plan's page cap) needs platform-admin status, since it affects every account on that plan.
Is Search ranking really platform-wide now, or still per-browser? · Support & troubleshooting
Once a platform admin publishes from Console → Search Intelligence, the ranking weights, filters and rules are stored on the real server and apply to every visitor — including someone who has never signed in. Before a first publish, or if the server is unreachable, Search falls back to the same defaults it always used, so nothing breaks; it just isn’t centrally governed yet.
What happens if I close my browser mid-edit in Studio? · Support & troubleshooting
Studio has no page editor, so there is no page draft to lose: your pages live on your own website. Forms you submit in Studio (promotions, FAQs, leads and so on) are saved on the server when you save them.
What does Studio do? · Platform modules
The workspace for businesses: connect your existing website, manage Plans and Pricing (in clear, foldable sections), run Sponsored Ads and Boosts, act on Search demand, work Leads and Contacts, and track performance.
What does Connect Your Website do? · Platform modules
Keep an existing, externally hosted website and connect it to Telshare without a rebuild, redesign or migration. Adding one tracking snippet gives you visitor analytics and an SEO audit of your site in Studio, and lets visitors on your site reach you through Telshare. Available on every plan.
What does Console do? · Platform modules
The platform admin and single source of truth: pricing, plans and add-ons, feature entitlements, users and roles, moderation, analytics, system emails, documentation, and navigation and feedback settings.
What does Dashboard do? · Platform modules
Day-to-day operations with the full Message Center, notifications, a support ticket system and quick search.
What does Inventory do? · Platform modules
Sign-in-gated stock management with a filterable, foldable side menu, plan-gated advanced features (advanced pricing, bulk export, multi-currency, approvals, API), a messages view and its own ticketing.
What does Home & Search do? · Platform modules
Public discovery. A “Near You” section and search results are matched to your selected region by default, plus a foldable filter panel (country, industry, category, price, rating and more), transparent ranking, and clearly-labelled Sponsored Ads.
What does Sponsored Discovery do? · Platform modules
It lets a business pay for extra, clearly labelled visibility in Telshare search. Campaigns can target a country and a category, have a daily and total budget that spend can never exceed, and show impressions, clicks and spend. Sponsored results are capped, always labelled, and never change organic ranking.
What does Search Intelligence do? · Platform modules
It is the engine behind discovery ranking. Organic results are ordered by Console-set signals: relevance, engagement, trust and recency. Administrators tune the weights, filters and sorts centrally, and Search shows the live weights, so ranking is never a black box. Sponsored results are separate and always labelled.
What do Contacts and Leads do? · Platform modules
Contacts lists the businesses you have messaged or started a quote with, with private notes. Leads is a business's sales pipeline in Studio: each lead is tracked through its statuses from first contact to won or lost.
What does Notifications & Messaging do? · Platform modules
The Message Center, where businesses and customers read and reply to conversations and can mute a thread, plus in-app notifications you can mark read or delete.
What does Privacy & Security do? · Platform modules
Privacy by Design across the platform: a per-purpose consent centre, Do Not Sell or Share, Global Privacy Control honouring, and data-subject requests (access, portability, correction, erasure, restriction, objection). The Console configures the consent model, purposes, rights, applicable regulations and controller contact, while each user manages their own choices. Backed by new-device confirmation, two-factor for platform staff, role-based permissions, an inactivity policy and audit trails.
What does Data retention & storage do? · Platform modules
Automatic retention schedules aren't available yet. What exists today: download your data at any time, request erasure (scheduled with a 30-day grace period), choose how long deleted tasks stay in Trash, and per-plan storage allowances for uploaded photos set in Console → Storage & Media.
What does Community & Reviews do? · Platform modules
Community Q&A lets visitors ask and members answer under the Community Guidelines, while reviews and ratings build page reputation and inform discovery.
What does Inventory do? · Platform modules
It is the single source of truth for your products, services, SKUs, variants, stock, locations, suppliers and purchase orders, for internal stock management on every plan.
What does Homepage Theme Manager do? · Platform modules
Create, duplicate, rename, edit, preview, publish/draft, delete, import and export multiple independent Homepage themes from the Console — hero content, section visibility and order, colors, typography and SEO. Only one theme is ever active, and switching it affects the Homepage only; every other page is untouched.
What does the Console's By-Page workspace do? · Platform modules
Every page has one gathered Console workspace, covering Homepage, Dashboard, Studio, Inventory, Search, Videos and Product Tour. Toggle the sidebar to "By Page" to see every tool that affects that page in one place.
What does the real backend enforce? · Platform modules
Authentication, tenant isolation, roles, entitlements, credits, usage limits and Studio governance are enforced by Telshare's server, not just by hidden buttons. A user editing their own browser storage cannot grant themselves access, credits or permissions; every protected action is re-checked on the server, with an audit trail. Governance is managed in Console → Platform Governance.
Does Studio have an editing safety net? · Platform modules
Studio no longer has a page editor: you connect your existing website instead, so undo, autosave and version history for page content don't apply.
What does Edit in Studio as Admin do? · Platform modules
It is a governed way for platform staff to help inside a merchant's real Studio, with no second editor and no fake membership. Impersonation sessions are time-limited, always carry the admin's real identity, and every action is audited separately from the merchant's own.
What is the Task Workspace? · Task Workspace
A real, shared task-tracking system between a customer/business and a provider, built into both the Dashboard and Studio (and reused for Telshare’s own internal work from the Console). Create a task, assign it, and both sides track progress, checklist items, images and history together in one place — updated live for everyone watching, not just on refresh.
How does a task move from start to finish? · Task Workspace
Draft → Published → Started → In Progress → Ready for Review → Completed. A provider can move a task through the working stages and submit it for review, but only the customer/business can Accept it as complete or send it back with Request Changes — so a task can never be marked done by the person who did the work.
What happens if I request changes on a submitted task? · Task Workspace
The task returns to In Progress with your note attached. The request is kept as its own entry in the task’s history, separate from a routine status update, so there is always a clear record of what was asked for and when.
Can I assign a task to someone by email? · Task Workspace
Yes. If that email belongs to an existing Telshare account, they see the task immediately once it’s published. If it doesn’t yet, the invitation is held and automatically activates the moment that person creates a Telshare account with that email — no separate invite flow to manage.
Can I add images and formatting to a task? · Task Workspace
Yes — task descriptions support basic formatting (bold, italic, lists, links), and you can attach an image, up to a limit your plan and Console configuration allow.
What happens when I delete a task? · Task Workspace
You choose: Delete Now permanently removes it immediately (a confirmation makes this clear, and Export is offered first), or Keep for 30/90/120/180 Days moves it to Trash with that exact retention window, restorable any time before it expires.
Can I search, filter or pin tasks? · Task Workspace
Yes — search covers titles, descriptions and label names, and you can filter by a specific label or to pinned-only, on top of the Active/Completed/Assigned/Trash tabs.
Can I connect Task Workspace to another tool? · Task Workspace
Yes, via a webhook — Telshare sends a signed notification to your own endpoint on task events. If your endpoint starts failing, Telshare shows the real connection status, pauses delivery after repeated failures rather than retrying forever, and lets you retry once it’s fixed.
