Beta FAQs
Who can sign in and use the App?
Currently, the only Permission levels (Grant Access User) who would not have access to the App are:
- Marketer
- Curator
- Accountant
- Affiliate Service Partner
NOTE: If your users have mixed permission that includes one of these Grant Access types with one that is accepted, they should still be able to log in to the App.
Can I print/export my reports from the Analytics Tab?
- No. Currently, you can only view Analytical data. If you wished to export the reports you will need to do so from the Desktop version
What listings are viable and bookable from the Mobile App?
- All listings should show that have a designated schedule attached to them. The only listings that would not show on Dashboard or under the listing options when selecting the "Book" button would be listings that DO NOT require a schedule
Can I collect a payment within the App?
- Yes you can! If using iPhone, you have the option to pair the BBPOS Chipper to the app to take CC payments (more on that here)
Otherwise, you can manually enter CC details and process a payment for any unpaid balances.
Is this all of the functionality?
- No. As we move forward with Beta participants and gather feedback, more features will be added to the App and updates will be available through the App/Google Play Store.
Can I use this App on my tablet?
- No. This App is currently reserved for mobile devices (phones)
We are working on building a Tablet-specific version of the App that will be released in the future.
