SkyTab Demo Instructions For Macbooks - Via Genymotion

You are able to use a virtualizer app called Genymotion to run the SkyTab POS software on your Macbook. 

Please note that at this time, iPads are not able to be used for POS demos.

Also note that Macbooks will be more difficult to use in the field as a demo since you will have to use your mouse/trackpad to click around, and therefore you will not be able to more fully emulate the experience of a touchscreen POS. 

Download/Install Instructions:

1. First, go to the Genymotion downloads page HERE 

2. Download the latest SkyTab POS APK HERE

3. Then, click HERE for a step-by-step walkthrough on how to get Genymotion downloaded and launched to run the SkyTab demo. 

4. After you have a serial number successfully generated on the screen of the POS demo (bottom left), please send a photo of it to Ryan Raymundo, our Sales Manager, via Slack or email ([email protected])
Note: If you are currently using Bluestacks, you can opt to keep using it.

 After Your Demo is Installed: 

Once your demo is set up, here are some key things to remember:

  • You can open tickets while showing merchants the demo, but always close or void them out when done. Since everyone uses the same company demo MID, leaving tickets open will affect others.
  • IMPORTANT: Do not change any settings in the POS Demo or Lighthouse (tweak menu, table setup, employees, etc.) on the front end or back end. Changes will apply to everyone's demos! You can still show the merchant how they can make the changes, but don't actually make the changes. 
  • Watch this SkyTab course video that shows a demo role play with a merchant: CLICK HERE

Lighthouse Only: 

If are unable to get the demo successfully added to your device, and don't want to purchase a compatible device, you're still able to be added to and access Lighthouse. Let Ryan know if you would only like that access. 

 If You Need Help: 

Think you may have done a step wrong, or have a question? Contact Ryan^, who can troubleshoot or go through these steps with you live over a Zoom call.
