ShopKeep delivers new features, bug fixes, and more reliable performance with each update to our Register app. For the best possible experience, follow our guide to update your ShopKeep Register whenever a new version is released.
If you have multiple registers, ShopKeep works best when each register is on the same version of the ShopKeep Register app.
The current version of the ShopKeep Register on The Mini and on The Station, built by Clover, is: v4.0.0.
There is no need to manually update the ShopKeep Register app on The Mini or on The Station as updates automatically install at night when the register is inactive.
Never delete the app unless asked by a Customer Care Advisor. You run the risk of permanently deleting register data by deleting the app or without properly deactivating your register.

Recommended iPad Settings
For the iOS ShopKeep Register App to run most effectively, configure the following iPad settings in the Settings App.

Disable Automatic Updates to keep the iPad from automatically installing app updates. This puts you in control of when to update ShopKeep which ensures minimal disruption to your business day.
Scroll down and tap 'iTunes & App Store'.
Toggle 'Updates' off.
Auto-Lock
Auto-Lock puts the iPad to sleep after a preset amount of time. Set Auto-Lock to ‘Never’ so the register screen remains on and active during transaction.
Tap 'Display & Brightness'.
Tap 'Auto-Lock'.
Select 'Never'.
Ask to Join Networks
This setting prevents the iPad from disconnecting from your Wi-Fi and automatically joining other nearby networks. If the iPad leaves the business’s Wi-Fi, it can no longer communicate with ethernet printers, credit card readers, or other registers on that network.
