How do I get started with ReceiptWave for Business?

Getting set up means connecting your point of sale, confirming your ABN, and programming your NFC stand. Most businesses are done in about ten minutes.

Download ReceiptWave for Business and open it. Tap Square on the welcome screen (Shopify, Lightspeed and Zettle are coming soon).
Sign in with your Square email and password when the Square page opens. That's the "Connect" step — it links your till to ReceiptWave so every sale creates a digital receipt automatically.
Check the business details we've filled in for you. When you connect Square we read your shop's address, phone, email, website and logo straight from your Square location, so most of the form is already done. Change anything that isn't right.
Confirm your ABN when asked (see "How do I add or verify my ABN?"). If you signed in with Square, we'll suggest the ABN from your Square profile. Please check it before you tap Confirm — your ABN appears on every tax invoice you issue, so it needs to be the right one. Until you confirm it, your receipts are plain receipts.
Program your NFC stand (see "How do I set up my NFC stand?").

If we say "This ABN already has a ReceiptWave account"

That means a ReceiptWave account already exists for this ABN, and we won't create a second one — an ABN is public, so anyone who knows yours could otherwise sign up as you. For the same reason, the message doesn't say whether that account is open or closed.

Set it up yourself? Sign in instead, using the email that set it up. Use Forgot password on the sign-in page if you can't remember it.
Closed your account, or nobody at your business can get in? Email support@receiptwave.com with your ABN. If you closed the account, we'll reopen your original account for you. We'll check you own the ABN before restoring access.

Tips

Invited to test ReceiptWave? Your invitation sets up your account: see "My business has been invited to test ReceiptWave. What do I do?". After you sign in, the app asks you once to connect Square.
No Square account handy? You can also create an account with email and connect Square later from Settings. The first time you sign in without a point of sale connected, the app asks you once to connect Square; tap Later to do it from Settings instead. After you create it, the app shows Check your email: type the 6-digit code from the email we send you to verify your address, or tap Not now and do it later from Settings then Verify your email. Your account works either way (see "Why does ReceiptWave ask me to verify my email address?").
Already have an account? On the sign-in screen, tap Continue with email to sign in with an emailed link or 6-digit code instead of your password.
Creating an account with email, or joining a business from a staff invitation? Your password needs at least 12 characters, with a number, an uppercase letter and a lowercase letter. If the app says 8 characters, that's out of date: use at least 12.
The first time you sign in with Square, the app asks you to accept our terms (if you haven't already), and then takes you straight into the setup steps.
Prefer to explore first? Each setup step has a skip option — you can finish any of them later from Settings.
On the business details step, tap Add or Edit to open an item and Cancel to close it without saving. If a save doesn't go through, the app says why under the item and keeps what you typed, so you can tap Save again.
Details look empty or out of date? They come from the location set up in your Square dashboard, so anything blank there will be blank here. Fill it in either place — you can always edit it later under Settings (see "How do I update my business details?").
