So, you've just created your account. Welcome to our software!

There are a few things we recommend configuring to make sure you have a solid foundation as you begin using our application. Below you'll find 11 sections to get started. 

1. Add your Users

Create accounts for the people in your business who will be using the software by following the steps in this article:

2. Add your Customers and Inventory

If your customers or inventory are in your accounting system, skip to step 2. If you have your customers in a spreadsheet or an existing database that you can export to a spreadsheet, here are instructions on how to get those into the app:
Importing your Customers
Importing your Inventory

If you have existing ticket or invoice history that you're needing to import, go ahead and send us a note at help@repairshopr.com

3. Set up your Accounting Integration

The software offers both Quickbooks (Online and Desktop), and Xero integrations for your accounting. A couple things to know before moving forward:

Quickbooks Online and Xero: Automatically syncs customers, invoices and payments as they're added.

Syncs payments automatically, and will sync Invoices any time a line item is modified or added

Quickbooks Desktop: Automatically syncs customers and invoices when final payments are entered.

Syncs payments automatically, and will only sync Invoices when they are paid.

Here are instructions on how to set up these integrations:
Xero
Quickbooks (Online and Desktop)

4. Set up your Ticket and Customer Custom Fields

It may be that you want to capture specific information on customers or tickets that aren't standard. Some examples would be passwords, serial numbers, or whether the customer is a residential or business customer. This is possible using either ticket, or customer custom fields.

6. Get your Printers and Calendars synced

In the application, you can print many items, including receipts, labels, Invoices, and Tickets. You can use AutoPrintr (recommended for Windows users) or Google Cloud print to send print jobs. You can also hook up receipt and label printers.

7. Add Content to your Forms and Customize your Emails

You can add custom terms to your Intake Form, Tickets, Invoices, and Receipts in Admin > PDF/Email Templates for each of the forms you have turned on.

The application also has default emails that are sent to your customers when you perform various tasks if you have them turned on, for example, when you send an Invoice. You can take a look at these in Admin > PDF/Email Templates.

In the software, invoices, tickets, estimates, and intake forms are all generated from HTML Templates. If you want further customization, you can access these Templates in Admin > PDF/Email Templates.

8. Write your canned responses

Using canned responses can be a great way to save time while still providing detailed and usable information to your customers. We have a collection of canned responses you can use or you can create your own.

9. Customize your ticket problem types

Create a list of all your commonly encountered problem types.

1. Go to Admin > Ticket Preferences.
2. Scroll down to view the Ticket Problem Types section and add yours there.

10. Create your customer referrals categories

This will allow you to track where your customers found you.

1. Go to Admin > Customers Preferences
2. In the window labelled "List for tracking Referred By" > Add item
3. Add the referral source (Customer, Google, Print Directory, Walk In, etc).

11. Make sure you keep in touch with your Customers

Finally, we recommend setting up an automated Marketr follow up campaign to check in on customers after a specified amount of time after their repair is finished. This is completely automated and is a great way to ensure quality customer service.
