📱 Tablet setup
Use this guide to get your tablet or device ready to run the Slerp Partner App in your store.
1. Device Recommendations
For the best performance:
- Operating System
- Android: Use the latest stable Android version, or within 2 major versions of the latest.
- iOS (iPad/iPhone): Use the latest iOS, or within 2 major versions.
- Memory (RAM): 4 GB or higher recommended.
- Screen size: 8" or larger for easier order handling.
If your device is very old (cannot update to a recent OS or has less than 4 GB RAM), we recommend upgrading to avoid slow performance or crashes.
2. Connect to Power and Internet
- Plug the tablet into a reliable power source (ideally always on during service).
- Connect to a stable Wi‑Fi network with good signal where the device will sit.
- Disable any aggressive power‑saving modes that may stop background notifications.
3. Install the Slerp Partner App
On Android
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Search for “Slerp”.
- Tap Install.
- Once installed, open the app and log in with your Slerp credentials.
On iOS (iPad/iPhone)
- Open the App Store.
- Search for “Slerp Partner”.
- Tap Get then Install.
- Open the app and log in with your Slerp credentials.
4. Enable Notifications & Sound
To make sure your team doesn’t miss orders:
- Allow notifications for the Slerp Partner App when prompted.
- In the tablet’s Settings:
- Make sure Do Not Disturb is off.
- Turn sound on and set the volume high enough to be heard in the venue.
- In the Partner App:
- Go to Account → Settings.
- Confirm order alerts/notifications are turned on.
5. Keep the App Updated
We strongly recommend enabling automatic updates for apps:
- This ensures you always have the latest fixes, features and security updates.
- Check your device’s app store settings and turn on auto‑update for apps (or at least for the Slerp Partner App).
6. (Optional) Connect a Bluetooth Printer
If you will be printing orders:
- Choose a supported printer (see our printer setup articles, e.g. Star, Munbyn, Jolimark).
- Pair the printer with your tablet via Bluetooth (see section “Connect Star Printers” below).
- In the Partner App, go to Account → Settings → Print Settings and choose your printer.
7. Place a Test Order
Once everything is installed:
- Place a test order through your online store.
- Check that:
- The order appears in the Partner App.
- Notifications and sound work.
- The order prints correctly (if using a printer).
If anything doesn’t work as expected, review the steps above or contact Slerp Support.
