You can buy Dash buttons for just $5 each, and you’ll get that money back when you make your first order using the button, so they’re essentially free once you start using them. So you literally have nothing to lose by trying them out.
How to Set Up a New Dash Button
Once you have the app downloaded and installed, open it up and tap on the menu button in the top-left corner.
Select “Your Account”.
Scroll down and tap on “Set up a new device” under the “Dash Devices” section.
Tap on “Dash Button” on the right-hand side of the screen.
Take the button out of the box and then tap on “Get Started” at the bottom of the screen on your phone.
Press and hold the Dash button until the small LED light flashes blue.
When it does that, tap on “Connect” in the app.
On the next screen, enter in your Wi-Fi network information if it already isn’t filled on. Then tap on “Continue.”
Next, place your Dash button near the speaker on your phone and then hit “Connect” in the app.
The pairing process will begin and your phone will emit a unique audio tone that the Dash button will listen to in order to connect.
Once that’s done, the next screen will have you select what you want ordered whenever you press the button. Depending on the brand, you’ll have several options to choose from.
On the next screen, you’ll confirm the item, as well as your shipping address and payment method that will be used whenever you press the Dash button. If everything looks good, tap on “Done”.
You can also turn on notifications for the app if you want so that you’ll receive an alert whenever a Dash button order has been placed. You’ll also receive an email like normal for any new order.
Your Dash button is now ready to go, and you can use the included keyring to put on your keychain, or use the adhesive backing to place it on a cabinet or a wall. I have my toilet paper Dash button in the bathroom and the paper towel Dash button in the utility room where we keep them, for example.
