What is self check-in for a repair shop?
Self check-in is an online form your customers fill in before they visit: repair or data recovery, device type, brand, model, serial number, accessories, the problem, their contact details and, if you offer it, a pickup. A one-time code to their mobile or email confirms it is them. Each request lands in BytePhase, where reception approves it and creates the repair job.

One tap makes it a job; the customer’s photos are copied over and the job-created message carries the tracking link.
Self check-in requests that become repair jobs
The request list
Every request shows its number, customer, mobile, assignee, status and the services asked for. Filter by Open, Contacted, Cancelled, Pickup booked or Approved, and handle requests in the phone app under More › Daily work. Approved requests carry on in your repair ticket software.
The customer form
Choose which fields are required, whether prices show and whether to skip the address step. Customers can add photos of the device and ask for a pickup, which you book with pickup and drop.
From request to job
Approve & create job matches or creates the customer, adds a new brand or model if needed and copies the customer’s photos to the job, under the business you pick. Counter photos are added the same way with device images.
Also in self check-in
Your link on Google, your website and social pages
Put the link on your Google Business Profile, website and social pages. Once the job is created, updates go by email, your own SMS provider or WhatsApp in one tap.
How check-in connects to the rest of BytePhase
Each card opens the feature it shares data with, so nothing is typed twice.

Self check-in questions
No. Self check-in is a web link that opens on the customer’s own phone or computer. They fill in the device and the problem, verify with a one-time code and send it; there is no client check-in app to install.
With paper forms and chat messages, your staff type every detail again and repeat customers get added twice. With online self check-in the customer types the device, serial number, accessories and problem once on their own phone, and can add photos. When you approve the request it becomes a repair job, and if the mobile number or email matches a customer you already have, BytePhase uses that customer. A booking widget only reserves a time; this request carries the device details into the job, with no kiosk or tablet needed at your counter.
Self Check-In allows customers to submit their device details, issue descriptions, and contact information online before visiting your repair shop. It speeds up the intake process and reduces manual entry for your team.

Yes. Copy your self check-in link and put it on your website, social pages or Google Business Profile.
