Appropo Settings

The OneTap API needs to be setup and internet accessible. Enter the IP and Port of this server to the OneTap Integration, as well as the username and password

http://123.12.34.123:5000

Use the test button to check that we can connect

Loyalty

For loyalty account creation, add the account type id. This corresponds to the account type setup in OneTap and we’ll make new accounts using this.

Barcodes

The easiest barcode for scanning is CODE128, by default the card number is encoded in the barcode.

Sentinel characters can be added around the card number eg. %<CARDNO>?

Account Pre-allocation

By pre-allocating a batch of accounts in OneTap, you can set an initial loyalty balance and have it available to a customer immediately after they sign up.

Preallocation needs to be done in OneTap and then the account range needs to be added to the integration settings in Appropo.

1000 accounts is a good place to start, for example an arbitrary range of 80000 to 81000

We’ll notify you when we’re reaching the end of the currently allocated batch

Sales Reporting

With the API setup, you can turn on sales importing in the Sales tab of the OneTap integration.

We’ll pull in sales periodically throughout the day, and use these for reporting.

Online Ordering

Menu

All the items you wish to be order-able need to be added to Appropo and each item and modifiers corresponding item/modifier id needs to be added to the appropriate items as a PLU

There is an online checker in the menu which will show items and modifiers that are not setup fully.
