Getting started

Create your workspace, choose a clock-in method, add a store, invite your team, and start tracking time.

Getting started

Follow these steps to roll out ClockTap to your first store. The setup wizard walks you through each one.

Set up your first store in minutes

From sign-up to a ready-to-use store — pick how your team clocks in, add your branch and staff, and set a schedule.

1. Create your workspace

Sign up with your work email from the landing page. Your first workspace is provisioned automatically on the free Starter plan — no credit card required.

2. Choose how your team clocks in

The setup wizard opens by asking how your team will clock in. Pick the setup that fits how your store works — you can change it later from store settings:

Kiosk — Staff clock in on a shared store device (a tablet, phone, or browser) using their PIN.
Personal devices — Each employee clocks in from their own phone. Every employee needs an email so they can be invited.
Mixed — Run a shared kiosk and personal-device clock-in at the same time.

Give your store a name and details. Stores are the unit of grouping for employees, kiosks, and attendance records — each store has its own clock-in setup and its own attendance feed. You can add as many stores as your plan allows.

4. Add employees

Add each team member with their name, role, and PIN. If you chose Personal devices (or Mixed), add each employee's email so they can be invited to clock in from their own phone. You can also import employees in bulk later from the Employees screen.

5. Set a schedule

Assign shifts so ClockTap can flag late arrivals and overtime against each employee's expected hours. This step is optional — you can skip it and add schedules later.

6. Start clocking in

Depending on the method you picked in step 2:

Kiosk — Open the Kiosk screen on the shared device, sign in with the kiosk-only account created with your store, and the device is paired to that branch. Staff clock in by tapping their PIN.
Personal devices — Each invited employee accepts their email invite, sets a password, and clocks in from their own phone at /app/clock. See BYOD self-login for the full flow.

7. Review attendance

Back in the admin dashboard, open Attendance to see live clock-ins, late arrivals, and overtime. Use the date range picker to filter by day, week, or month, and export to Excel for payroll.
