2) Exit "Settings", simply returning to your iPhone's home screen. Put down your iPhone for a moment.

3) On a computer go to "http://appninjas.com/account and login. Create an account if you havn't been here before. You can use any email you want for a username here, you won't receive any email from this nor will it have any OTHER connection to your email.

4) Click on "Gateway Settings" to the right. Select your merchant from the list and enter your gateway information in the appropriate spaces.

5) Once this is done scroll all the way down and click "save changes" at the bottom of the screen.

6) Now return to your iPhone. Open Swipe and select "login", then enter the username and password you used on step 3 above.

3) Once logged in click "Gateway Settings" on the right, chose your Merchant off the drop down list labled "Gateway" and then enter the gateway information provided by your Merchant.

Once you complete these steps your phone should report that it's settings have been updated. In Swipe's "Settings" screen you'll want to turn off "test mode" and you'll be ready to take charges. Also note you may go back to the webpage in step 2 and using the links on the right side of the screen you may look at your history, customize your receipts, enter inventory items and change your password among other things.

Adding additional devices:

To add a second, third ,etc..... device simply install swipe and enter the email and password established above to login. From within swipe click on "Settings" then "Gateway" and click "Account Sync" and enter the same email/password. Finish up this process as before and you're all set. You can do this quick procedure on as many devices as you want.
