Trying to connect your foursquare page to multiple venues? It’s super easy; here’s how -
First, your venues have to be claimed. If you haven’t done so already, head on over here to claim your venues for free.
Next, log into your Manager Tools dashboard and click on Edit Info on the top right corner
Note: because we default to your “all venues” group in Manager Tools, clicking “Edit Info” will connect your page to ALL of the venues you manage. If you only want to connect your foursquare page to some of your venues, select the appropriate venue group before you click on the “Edit Info” button. If you haven’t created any venue groups yet, see this article on setting one up.
The next step is to type in the namespace of your foursquare page, which is defined by your Twitter handle (e.g. for foursquare.com/starbucks, they would include “starbucks”) Alternatively, you can copy-paste your entire foursquare Page url (ex. www.foursquare.com/starbucks).
If any of your venues are already connected to a page, you will see a confirmation step to set these changes. Please be extra careful when using this tool to avoid connecting the wrong page to the wrong venues! Click “save change” at the bottom of the screen and you’re done!
After you connect your page to your venues, your venues will appear as part of a map on the foursquare page, and information from your page will appear on the connected venue pages including a link to your page as well as the 3 closest venues.
