Troubleshooting & Support
Having trouble with ClearAccess? Here are the most common issues and how to resolve them.
Access Issues
"Invalid Pass" at the gate
- Cause: The pass has already been used, has expired, or was revoked by the host.
- Solution: Ask the host to generate a new pass. If you are a resident, check your Active Passes list to see the status.
Scanner not working (Guards)
- Cause: Poor lighting, low screen brightness, or lack of camera permissions.
- Solution:
- Increase the guest's phone brightness.
- Use the "Flashlight" toggle in the scanner.
- Use the Manual Entry option and type in the 6-digit code.
Technical Issues
Cannot log in
- Cause: Incorrect password or unverified email.
- Solution: Use the Forgot Password link. Ensure you have clicked the verification link sent to your email after signing up.
Push notifications not arriving
- Cause: Battery saver mode or disabled permissions.
- Solution: Check your phone's notification settings for the ClearAccess app. Ensure "Allow Notifications" is enabled.
Billing & Wallets
Balance not updating after top-up
- Cause: Delayed payment confirmation from the bank or payment processor.
- Solution: Wait 5-10 minutes. If the balance still doesn't reflect, check your email for a receipt from the payment gateway (e.g., Paystack) and contact billing support.
Transaction failed
- Cause: Insufficient funds or network error.
- Solution: Try a different payment method (e.g., Bank Transfer vs. Card). Check your bank's app to ensure the funds haven't been deducted.
