Welcome to Aplauso! This guide walks you through downloading the app, signing in, setting up your profile, opening your reward code, and preparing a browser-based path for guests to tip or leave feedback.

Step 1 - Download the App

PlatformLinkMinimum OS
iPhoneDownload on the App StoreiOS 15.4+
AndroidGet it on Google PlayAndroid 8.0+

Or visit aplauso.io/signup on your phone to continue through the current signup or app-install path.

Step 2 - Sign In

  1. Open the app and tap Get Started after the welcome tour.
  2. Enter your phone number and tap Send Code.
  3. Enter the 6-digit code you receive via SMS.

Your phone number links you to the employee record your manager already created. If you see "No employee record found," ask your manager to create your profile in the Aplauso Dashboard first.

Step 3 - Complete Your Profile

After sign-in the app walks you through a short setup:

  1. Enter your name - this appears on your public tipping page.
  2. Add a photo (optional) - helps guests recognize you.
  3. Review the guest-facing information - keep the profile and reward code accurate before sharing them.

Step 4 - Your Page Is Live

As soon as your profile is ready, your tip link is live and ready to share. The Reward tab lets you surface it in a few formats:

  1. Tap the Share tab.
  2. Show your QR Code, copy your personal reward link, or use the available sharing controls.
  3. Let a guest open the browser-based Aplauso flow on their own device.

Your accomplishment progress follows that same path, so sharing and first earning show up before payout setup in the app's motivation layer.

Use the wallet to distinguish pending, eligible, and paid-out amounts after a guest payment is processed and allocated.

Step 5 - Connect Your Payout Method

To receive tip payouts:

  1. Go to the Wallet tab.
  2. Tap Set Up Payouts.
  3. Follow the Stripe onboarding flow to add your bank account.

You can skip this step and do it later - tips still accumulate in your wallet.

Step 6 - Collect Your First Tip

Use your reward code or personal link to let a guest open the browser-based Aplauso flow:

  1. Tap the Share tab.
  2. Show the QR code or copy the personal link.
  3. The guest scans or opens the link and completes the configured rating and payment flow on their own device.
