Understanding Checkfront browser support

Checkfront supports all modern web browsers and operating systems including Windows, Apple, and Linux, as well as browsers on most smart devices including the iPad, iPhone, and Android. We also have separate apps for iOS and Android that you can download from your device's app store.

To have the best experience, use the most up-to-date browser. We recommend Google Chrome.

Our dynamic user interface is designed to work on any size monitor but works best on monitors with a resolution width of 1024 px or greater.

 

Alert

Internet Explorer on Windows

As of March 17, 2015, the Internet Explorer browser has been retired. Version 11 was the last release.

We recommend that you switch to the latest version of Microsoft Edge, Chrome, or Firefox for the best experience.

 

Note

Minimum Mobile Device Specifications

For viewing on mobile devices, Checkfront specifies the iPhone 6 as the minimum hardware standard, which supports the following:

Screen size (inches): 4.70
Touchscreen: Yes
Resolution: 750 x 1334 px
Aspect ratio: 16:9
Pixels per inch (PPI): 326

 

Security

Back to top

Checkfront is a cloud-based application. That means there is no software to install and maintain. We manage upgrades and backups and employ the highest security practices to keep your data safe and secure.

As of June 29, 2017, Checkfront requires browsers that support TLS 1.2, including Firefox, Chrome, Safari 7+, and Microsoft Edge. Our Customer-facing booking interface mirrors these requirements.

 

Connection

Back to top

Since Checkfront is accessed via your browser, it’s essential to have access to a consistent high-speed Internet connection to make the best use of the software. If your Internet connection is unreliable and access to your booking software is critical throughout the day, then an online booking system may not be the best option for your business.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Back to top

  • What happens if my Internet connection goes down?

    Even the best Internet providers do, on occasion, have problems. If you have cellular access and a smartphone/tablet, then you can still access Checkfront. You may also wish to enable offline storage in your mail client so you can still gain access to booking invoices when offline.

  • Is there any way to download Checkfront onto my own server?

     No. Checkfront is Software-as-a-service (Saas) and does not license the software outside of its network.
