Your business

Your setup opens at step 1, one step at a time. Check your shop name and cell, and tap Next. Then add your legal name and tax ID (EIN) from your IRS letter and your address, or tap I’ll add this later. If you wait, Sapt asks for them each time you open it until they are in.

Step 1 of 5: your shop name and your cell

Get your number

Type your area code, pick a number and choose where its calls ring. If nobody picks up, the caller gets a text back. Check the greeting, pick Ava or Brian and tap Play to hear the voice. Then tap Get. Getting the number means you text only customers who gave you their number.

Step 2 of 5: an area code and the numbers you can pick

Forward your missed calls

Type the number on your sign, tap Look it up and do what Sapt shows to forward the calls nobody answers. The code for each phone company is on Forward your calls. Then call the shop from your cell, let it ring until Sapt answers, type your cell under Calling from and tap I called. Check now.
