Pairing Your Qpop Companion with RepairQ

Once you have your Qpop™ companion added to your RepairQ location, you can begin the pairing process. A companion can be paired with multiple terminals at the same time.

Note: Qpop Companions are intended to run as Always-On status for both the screen and internet connection. Most tablets will disconnect from Wi-Fi when the screen times out or goes into sleep mode. When running Qpop, ensure your tablet is plugged in and screen timeout and auto-sleep settings have been turned off. We also recommend enabling Kiosk Mode on your tablet first to ensure that customers cannot navigate away from the Qpop browser page.

If you have additional questions, check out our resources for setup and troubleshooting.

    The iPad Add to Home Screen seems to be broken now. You can pair when in the browser, but when you add, it is no longer paired. Also, you can't pair in the "QPop" Home Screen link for whatever reason. Always get the Error: PIN not found or expired

    Please make pairing Q-pop companions available for all user roles, or at least make it a possibility/setting. It is frustrating to have stores depend on the functionality of Q-pop, then an iPad is somehow un-paired and the only method to re-pair is accessible by someone with a manager role. There are only 5 of these people in our business due to security and integrity concerns, 3 of which are not accessible on the weekends.

    Additionally, a question - a statement in the Q-pop settings claims that the RQ team is actively developing Q-pop according to user feedback. However, RepairQ hasn't even seen an update for upwards of 5 months. Whencan we expect the next update to be live, and will it contain improvements to Q-pop (and custom forms)?

    Hi Brandon,

    Thank you for the feedback. There are customizable user permissions for QPOP. An admin user can contact our support team to customize those permissions as needed.

    You can keep track of development updates here. Our most recent release was just over one month ago. The next major releases, 1.14 and 1.15, are scheduled for this month. Expect an announcement on those releases in the near future.

    Neither of those releases include QPOP features. The next updates to QPOP will be customer confirmation prompts, where the customer can review and confirm their contact information, and receipt preference options, where the customer can choose if they prefer a paper/email receipt. No ETA on those features at this time.
