## Use the dashboard anywhere

Open [the dashboard](https://app.railbed.io/) in your browser and sign in. On smaller screens, use the navigation menu to move between Wallet, Payments, Payment links, Checkouts and Settings. Payment lists adapt to the screen so the amount and status remain readable.

You can share a payment link from your phone, open a request to check its progress, or review payment details without installing a separate store app.

## Add the dashboard to your device

In **Settings → Railbed on your device**, follow the instructions for your browser:

- **iPhone or iPad:** open Railbed in Safari, use the Share menu and choose Add to Home Screen. If offered, leave Open as Web App on.
- **Android or desktop:** use your browser's Install app or Add to Home screen command when available.
- **Safari on Mac:** use File → Add to Dock when available.

Browser wording can vary. The installed shortcut opens the same Railbed dashboard and uses the same account. Buyer checkout links remain ordinary browser pages rather than becoming the installed merchant dashboard.

## Stay connected when managing payments

An internet connection is required to load current payment and wallet information or to save changes. The offline fallback explains that you are offline; it is not an offline copy of your payment history and does not queue payment actions for later.

If the connection drops, reconnect and refresh the relevant payment before deciding whether to deliver an order. Do not use an old screen as confirmation of a payment's current status.

## Help a buyer returning from a provider

A provider can open a new browser tab when the buyer pays. They should keep the original Railbed checkout tab available and return to it after finishing. If the browser blocks the new tab, payment may continue in the original tab.

The exact tab and app-switching experience depends on the device and browser. See [The buyer experience](https://railbed.io/docs/user-guide/buyer-experience.md#why-there-are-two-tabs) for what the buyer should expect and why a return page alone does not prove payment.
