Ensure that Slyp is enabled in the Idealpos Licence Gateway for each POS Terminal.

Should you find that Slyp is not enabled in your Licence Gateway, please contact Idealpos or your Reseller for more details about getting this module enabled.

After the module is enabled, the Licence will need to be reloaded by going to: Setup > Licence Gateway > Press "Reload" > Restart Idealpos

 

To confirm that the Slyp Integration is enabled in the Licence Gateway, go to:

Setup > Licence Gateway

 

A list of terminals will be displayed. The current terminal is highlighted in green with other terminals highlighted in blue.

If the Slyp module is enabled in your licence, it should be displayed under the Options column similar to the below example:

 

Once the Slyp module is enabled in the Licence Gateway, it can be enabled in Global Options.

Go to Setup > Global Options > Interfaces > Select "Slyp"

 

 

Enter the Merchant ID and API Key into their respective fields, then press the "Connect" button.

 

 

After a successful connection has been established, the Connect button will be replaced with text that shows "CONNECTED" in green which indicates that the connection is now active.

 

 

The next step involves Uploading your Store Details and specifying your preference for the Digital Receipt prompt.

The "Prompt for Digital Receipt" checkbox will control whether a prompt for digital receipt is displayed at the end of the sale.

The options available as follows will control the fields that are available on the receipt prompt:

 

• SMS and Email - Selecting this option will allow the operator to enter either a Mobile Phone Number to SMS the receipt to or to enter an email address to email a copy of the receipt.
• SMS only - Selecting this option will only display a Mobile Phone Number field to SMS a copy of the receipt
• Email only - Selecting this option will only display an Email field to send an email copy of the receipt.

 

Once these options have been configured, press the "Upload Store" button.

 

 

Close the Global Options window to save the changes.

To ensure that the Slyp options have been applied, we recommend restarting Idealpos.

Use IPSUtils to close the Idealpos Suite, then start Idealpos using the desktop shortcut or alternatively, press the Windows Start button and go to Idealpos > Idealpos.

 

Idealpos is now ready to send Digital Receipts via the Slyp Integration.

For more details on how to use the Slyp Integration to send a digital receipt, refer to Sending Digital Receipts using Slyp.

This step covers the creation of the following buttons:

 

• Receipt On/Off - This button is used to control whether receipts are turned on or off
• Print Receipt - If receipt printing is disabled, this button will be used to trigger a receipt to print. It will also duplicate the last printed receipt.

 

To create these buttons on the POS Screen, go to:

 

Setup > POS Screen > POS Screen Setup > Select the layout > Press "Buttons" on the bottom-left corner

 

From the bottom of the POS Screen layout, click on a POS Screen tab that you want to create these buttons on.

 

Look for a blank/unassigned button (which will be assigned to the Receipt On/Off button), then click on it.

This button will be used to control whether receipt printing is enabled or disabled.

Select the function called "Receipt On/Off" from the list of functions and configure the button appearance as required.

Press "Save" once the button has been configured.

 

 

Look for another blank/unassigned button (which will be assigned to the Print Receipt button), then click on it.

If receipt printing is disabled, this button will be used to trigger a receipt to print. It will also duplicate the last printed receipt.

Select the function called "Duplicate Receipt" from the list of functions and configure the button appearance as required.

Press "Save" once the button has been configured.

 

 

Close the POS Screen Layout screens.

The buttons have now been configured.

The following Yes/No Options are available which can be used to control the display of the Slyp Digital Receipt Prompts:

 

• Slyp Digital Receipts for Customer Sales Only - When this option is enabled, the Slyp Digital Receipt Prompt will only be displayed when a Customer has been added to the sale. The SMS and Email fields will be automatically populated using the data that has been configured for the Customer which has been added to the sale. If a Customer has not been added to the sale, the prompt will not be displayed. In order for this option to apply to a POS Terminal, the Yes/No Option “Slyp Prompt for Digital Receipt” must also be enabled for the same POS Terminal.
  
  
• Slyp Prompt for Digital Receipt - This option gives the ability to turn the Slyp Digital Receipt prompt on/off by POS Terminal.
  Note that you must have “Prompt for Digital Receipt” enabled in Global Options > Interfaces > Slyp in order for this Yes/No Option “Slyp Prompt for Digital Receipt” to take effect and apply to the selected POS Terminal numbers.

 

To toggle the above Yes/No Options, go to: Setup > Yes/No Options > Enter Keyword Search: Slyp
