Sign in on the till with a device code

Pair a phone to one store with a one-time device code, then let each staff member start work with their own PIN.

Updated 13 September 2026

Staff should never need your owner password to serve customers. Generate a six-digit device code in the dashboard and enter it once on the till phone. The phone stays paired to that store afterwards.

A device code identifies the phone and store. A staff PIN identifies the person using it. They solve different problems and should not be shared.

Generate a code

  1. 1
    In the owner dashboard, open Stores (or Devices).
  2. 2
    Choose the store the phone will serve.
  3. 3
    Select Create login code.
  4. 4
    Give the device a name you will recognise, such as "Counter 1" or "Tino's phone".
  5. 5
    Swipee shows a six-digit code.

Enter the code on the phone

  1. 1
    Open Swipee on the till phone.
  2. 2
    On the sign-in screen, choose Use a device code.
  3. 3
    Type the six digits and confirm.

The phone signs in to that store and is registered as a POS device on your account.

Start the staff shift

After the phone is paired:

  1. 1
    Open More → Who is on the till.
  2. 2
    The cashier or manager enters their own PIN.
  3. 3
    Choose Start my shift.

Sales, stock counts, corrections, and drawer actions now carry that person's name. Add people and PINs from the dashboard under Staff; see Add staff and start a shift.

Manage your devices

Open Stores → Paired Devices in the dashboard to see every phone signed in to your business, which store it belongs to, and when it was last used. If a phone is lost, sold, or leaves with a former employee, choose Sign out there — the device loses access at once.

Good habits

  • One code per phone. Do not pass a code around.
  • Name devices after the counter or person, not the phone model.
  • Review the device list at the end of every month.
