First-install notes

  • Set public key, merchant code, and price Enter your Tabby public key and merchant code in the promo script, and set the currency and price correctly: AED and SAR use 2 decimal places, KWD uses 3. Without these values, the on-site “pay in 4” message may not appear. source
  • Add Shopify snippet near the price Place {% render 'tabby-installments' %} near the price in theme files such as product.liquid. If it is missing or too far from the price, shoppers may not see the installment option where they expect it. source
  • Use a valid mobile phone number When sending shopper details through the API, include a mobile number in a clear format, for example +971500000001. An unclear or invalid phone number can stop Tabby from offering checkout or creating a customer account. source
  • Deployment Deploy Tabby without an external database management system (DBMS) or cloud service; the service is self-contained. source

Common questions

Does Tabby need an external database or cloud service to run?

No. Tabby is self-contained and does not require a DBMS or cloud service.

Can Tabby be integrated into existing development infrastructure?

Yes. It exposes an OpenAPI interface that can be integrated with existing infrastructure, such as cloud IDEs.

What authentication option did Tabby add for managing users?

Tabby added LDAP authentication in v0.24.0.

Can Tabby use existing coding LLM models?

Yes. It is compatible with major coding LLMs such as CodeLlama, StarCoder, and CodeGen, and can use or combine preferred models.

How does Tabby reduce code-completion response time?

Its IDE extensions use an adaptive caching strategy, and model serving parses relevant code into Tree Sitter tags for effective prompts.
