Troubleshooting: start here
Something's wrong? Find what you're seeing below, then follow the fix. The four big problems each have their own step-by-step page; the small stuff is answered right here.
Find your symptom
| What you're seeing | What it usually means | Where to fix it |
|---|---|---|
| Visitors can't join. The QR or link shows "not accepting joins right now", "not taking visitors right now", or nothing happens. | One of five common causes — the line isn't live yet, it's outside opening hours, it's full or paused, billing is unhealthy, or setup isn't finished. | Why isn't my line taking joins? |
| People are waiting but nobody's being called. | Usually nobody has pressed Call next yet, or the person at the desk can't serve this line. | Nobody's being called |
| A customer says they weren't notified. | WhatsApp and email are best-effort — the free tracking link never fails. | A customer says they didn't get notified |
| The lobby board is blank or shows Offline. | Usually a design that was never sent to a screen, or the screen's own network. | The lobby board is blank or offline |
Visitors & the line — quick answers
| What you're wondering | The answer |
|---|---|
| Someone scanned the QR twice — are they in the line twice? | No. Re-scanning brings back their same ticket. They'll see "You're still in the line" with a Resume button. One person, one place. |
| I changed a setting and nothing happened. | If people are already waiting, a change to the serving rule waits for you to confirm — look for "Change the serving rule now?" and press Apply now. Until you confirm, the line keeps its old rule on purpose. |
| The page looks stale or out of date. | Refresh it. If your connection dropped you'll see "You're offline. Changes won't save and the page won't update until you're back online." It catches up the moment you're back — but while you're offline, changes are not saved. |
| I got "Someone else changed this just now". | A teammate saved the same settings a moment before you. Nothing was lost on their side — refresh, check their change, and re-apply yours. This exists so two people can never silently overwrite each other. |
Screens & boards — quick answers
| What you're wondering | The answer |
|---|---|
| The pairing code doesn't work. | Codes expire a few minutes after they're shown. Show a fresh one from Devices → Re-pair and type it straight away. Repeated wrong codes pause pairing briefly for safety. |
| The board shows names I don't want public. | Set the line's privacy to Initials + numbers or Numbers only in Line settings → Visitor page & privacy. No screen can ever show more than the line allows. |
Messages & banners — quick answers
What the billing banners mean
| What the screen says | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| We couldn't process your last payment. Update your card… | A charge failed, but nothing is blocked yet. You have 72 hours' grace to fix it. | Press Update payment in Billing. |
| Your subscription is paused — new visitors can't join until you update your card. | The grace ran out. New joins are paused, but everyone already waiting is still served. | Press Update payment in Billing. |
Two more quick answers
| What you're wondering | The answer |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp says I'm out of messages. | The location reached its WhatsApp ceilingThe WhatsApp messages included with each location — 1,000 per location per month (200 per account during the trial). Over it, WhatsApp pauses; the tracking link and lobby TV keep working.. A subscribed location resumes on the 1st; on the trial it's 200 for the whole account, for the whole trial, lifting when you subscribe. Nothing is sent in its place, so call those guests by name. |
| A guest was called but never came. | Their spot is held for the no-show graceHow long a called visitor's spot is held before they're marked a no-show. (10 minutes by default), then they're marked a no-show. Staff can always press Put back in line if they reappear. |
Nothing else stops Everyone keeps their tracking link, and the lobby TV works as normal.
