Launch Aplauso at a property

Set up a property, prepare the team, test safely, and put a guest-ready tipping experience in front of people.

Create the property structure before inviting staff.
Confirm the property payment configuration before accepting live tips. Personal payout setup happens later in Wallet only when the person chooses it and an eligible withdrawal method is shown.
Test in Training or Demo mode before distributing live Reward Code materials.

The practical path

  1. 1

    Create the organization, property, outlets, and departments that match the real operating structure.

  2. 2

    Invite the first staff members and confirm that each person can complete their profile and is ready to earn. Payout setup can happen later in Wallet, when they are ready to withdraw.

  3. 3

    Create each employee, outlet, or department tip destination intentionally. Each one has its own saved distribution rule.

  4. 4

    Test the guest journey on the actual devices and surfaces guests will use.

  5. 5

    Switch the relevant scope to Live only after the test is confirmed.

Common questions

Can we test before charging real cards?

Yes. Aplauso separates Live, Training, and Demo modes so teams can rehearse without mixing test records into live operations.

Do we need an app for guests?

No. Guests can open a Reward Code link, scan its QR code, or use another supported entry point shown for the current guest flow.
