Open my.aplauso.io → Settings to customize your Aplauso profile and account. Settings are organized into seven tabs.
Profile Tab
Configure your public-facing identity:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Display Name | Full name shown to guests on the tipping page |
| Login/contact email | |
| Phone | Contact phone (separate from login phone) |
| Bio | Short description shown on your public profile |
| Language | Display language for the dashboard |
| Currency | Display currency for tip amounts |
| Avatar | Upload a profile photo |
| Rating Prompt | Editable text guests see (default: "How's my service?") |
| Category | Your hospitality category (e.g., "Individual - Hospitality") |
Changes auto-save with a short debounce - you do not need to click a Save button on most fields.
Notifications Tab
Configure how Aplauso communicates with you:
| Channel | Options |
|---|---|
| On / Off | |
| Push | On / Off |
| SMS | On / Off |
Per-event toggles:
- New tips
- New reviews
- Weekly report
- Monthly report
- Achievement unlocked
- Marketing communications
Privacy Tab
Control what guests and other users can see:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Profile Visible | Whether your profile page is publicly accessible |
| Show Rating | Display your average star rating |
| Show Total Tips | Display your cumulative tip amount |
| Show Reviews | Show guest comments on your profile |
| Allow Messaging | Allow inbound messages through the platform |
| Data Sharing | Limited anonymized data sharing for analytics |
Payment Tab
Manage your Stripe Connect integration and payout behavior:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Wallet Withdrawals | Review your available balance and initiate withdrawals when you are ready |
| Bank Account | Update the payout account Stripe uses for your withdrawals |
| Default Payment Method | Preferred payment display on your profile |
| Stripe Connect | Connect, disconnect, or re-onboard Stripe |
Stripe onboarding status (requirements due, pending verification, disabled reason) is also displayed in this tab.
Security Tab
Review how your account signs in and where security controls live:
- Auth Provider - Shows your primary sign-in method (for example Google or verification-code sign-in)
- Password Changes - Not shown in dashboard because Aplauso does not use password-based sign-in for these accounts
- Two-Factor Authentication - Managed by your sign-in provider when available
- Active Sessions - Shows the current signed-in device session
If you signed in with Google, password changes and 2FA are managed in your Google account. If you sign in with an Aplauso verification code or passwordless email flow, there is no password reset screen in dashboard.
Preferences Tab
Visual customization:
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Dark Mode | Light / Dark / System |
| Compact View | On / Off (reduces whitespace) |
Environment Tab
If your account has access to self-service environment controls, Settings also shows an Environment section for your employee record.
| Environment | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Live | Normal production mode with no banner |
| Sandbox | Orange training banner and sandbox-only data |
| Demo | Red demo banner and demo-safe data |
When you switch your own employee record into Sandbox or Demo, the dashboard follows that server-resolved environment automatically. You do not need to change URLs or manually choose an API environment.
When your employee record is returned to Live, the dashboard returns to live data only. Sandbox transactional data for your employee scope is purged during the rollback.
Account Tab
| Action | Notes |
|---|---|
| Delete Account | Permanently removes your Aplauso account. Opens a confirmation modal. Irreversible - all tips and ratings history is removed. |
If you change your mind after deleting, your Stripe account and payout history remain intact in Stripe directly, but Aplauso data cannot be recovered.
