What SlickCell connects to
Your card machine, your printers, your scanners, your suppliers and your accountant. Everything on this page works on every plan, from the day you sign up.
What SlickCell connects to
Each section says what the connection does and where you find it in the product.
1.Your own card machine
Keep the card machine you already have, from whichever provider gives you the best rate. Take the payment on the terminal and the till records it on the sale, split with cash if needed, so the sale, the receipt and the day's report agree. SlickCell takes no cut of your card takings.
2.Your subscription, on secure payment pages
Your SlickCell plan is billed through a PCI DSS Level 1 payment provider. Checkout, the card on file, plan changes, cancellation and reactivation all run on the provider's own secure pages, so your card details are never held by us.
3.Exports for your accountant
Profit and loss, VAT including the margin scheme, payments, the account ledger, stock and payroll export to CSV from the report you are reading. Your accountant works from exactly the figures the app shows, and customer statements download as PDF.
4.Your suppliers, connected
Suppliers on SlickCell publish a live catalogue to the shops they serve. Your purchase order lands directly in their account: they confirm or re-quote, reserve and dispatch, and you book in what actually arrived. Suppliers who are not on the platform receive the same order as a PDF by email.
5.Email and SMS updates to customers
Ready-for-collection notices, diagnosis updates and reminders go to customers by text or email from the job, on templates each shop can edit, and every message is kept on the customer record. Nothing to set up.
Every receipt and repair label also carries a QR code that opens a live tracking page, so customers can check progress themselves without an app or a login.
6.Google sign-in
Staff can sign in with a Google account instead of a password. Access inside the product is still decided by the role the shop gave that person; Google only proves who they are.
7.Barcode scanning: USB, camera, or a paired phone
Any USB barcode scanner that types into the till works as it would in any other program. And a staff phone can be paired to the till from a QR code on screen and used as a scanner for the open sale, with no app to install and no hardware to buy.
8.Stock import from CSV
Parts, accessories and devices import from CSV files as three separate imports, with column mapping, supplier matching and a preview of exactly what will be written before anything is saved. Bring your stock over from a spreadsheet or straight from your old system.
9.Printing and PDF: receipts, invoices, tickets and labels
One document template prints as an A4 page, an 80mm or 58mm receipt roll, or a repair label on stock sizes from 50 by 25 up to 80mm, and the same document downloads as a PDF. Printing goes through the browser's own print dialog, so any printer the computer can already print to will work. SlickCell itself installs nothing.
What shops ask about connections
Yes, with the one you already have. Take the payment on your terminal and the till records it on the sale, split with cash if needed, so the sale, the receipt and the report agree. SlickCell takes no cut of your takings, so you choose the card provider with the best rate.
Export them. Profit and loss, VAT including the margin scheme, payments, the account ledger and payroll export to CSV from the report you are reading, so your accountant works from exactly the figures the app shows.
Any printer the computer can already print to. Receipts, A4 invoices, repair tickets and labels come off one template and print through the browser at A4, 80mm, 58mm or label sizes. SlickCell itself installs nothing: the printer uses its normal driver.
By text or email from the job, on a template, with every message kept against the customer. Their receipt also carries a QR code that opens a live tracking page, so they can check the status without ringing the shop.
No. Any staff phone becomes the scanner: pair it to the till from a QR code on screen and every scan lands in the open sale, with no app to install. A USB scanner or the device camera works too.
