Configure the Android app

The app captures the Yape notification on a phone dedicated to the shop, stores it on the phone and sends it to the platform. Hotsale delivers the signed APK; the app is not on Play Store. The app is in Spanish; button names are quoted as they appear.

Before you start

• An Android phone with the Yape app that receives your business payments.
• Access to the panel to generate the linking code.
• Internet connection (wifi or mobile data).

Install and link

1. Install the APK Hotsale gave you. If Android asks, allow installing apps from that source just for this step.

2. Generate a code in the panel: Devices → Link device → Generate activation code. Choose the environment (test or live). The code looks like HS-XXXXXX-XXXXXX, expires in 15 minutes and works only once.

3. Open the app. The first screen asks for the linking code («Ingresa el código de vinculación…»). Type the 12 characters (the HS- prefix and the dash are added for you) or tap Pegar código (paste), then Entrar.

4. Grant notification access. Tap Abrir acceso a notificaciones and enable HotsalePay in the system list. Without it the app can’t see payments.

5. Turn off battery optimization for HotsalePay and allow autostart if your brand offers it (Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, Samsung…). Some brands kill background apps and would leave the detector “blind”.

6. Check that Inicio (Home) says Detector activo and Sistema (System) says Vinculado · your store.

Note

By default each store has one device. If you link another phone, the previous one is revoked.

Screens

Tab	Purpose
Inicio (Home)	Detector status, today’s activity and last notification
Pagos (Payments)	Detected Yape payments, with status and the order once reconciled
Ingresos (Income)	Detected totals per period; export to CSV
Sistema (System)	Link to the store, permissions, battery and diagnostics

Messages you may see

Message	Meaning	What to do
Falta permiso de notificaciones	The system removed the app’s access	Tap the notice and enable it again
Sin vincular	The app has no valid code	Generate a code in the panel and enter it
Hay que volver a vincular	The server rejected the phone’s credentials	Generate a new code
Detenido por el servidor (licencia o dispositivo)	License suspended or device revoked	Payments stay saved; contact support
Esperando la primera notificación de Yape	All set, no payment yet	Make a test payment

Good practice

• Keep the phone charging and online. The app retries on its own and sends everything when back online.
• Don’t swipe the app away or use “cleaner” apps.
• If you change phones, link the new one with a new code; the old one is revoked automatically.
• The panel alerts you when the phone stops sending its heartbeat.
