Troubleshooting: Access Code Not Working

1 min read

๐Ÿ‘ฅ For: Field Workers and Managers


The code shows as invalid #

The most common reason is a transcription error. Access codes are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as generated. Check these first:

  • Copy instead of type. Ask your manager to share the code directly via Messages or AirDrop โ€” tap to copy, then paste into the code field. Manual transcription introduces errors that are difficult to spot (0 vs O, 1 vs l)
  • Check for extra spaces. If the code was copied from an email, there may be a trailing space. Clear the field and paste again
  • Confirm you have the right code. If your manager has created multiple codes, make sure you’re using the one created specifically for you

The code was revoked #

If a code has been revoked by the manager, it won’t connect regardless of how it’s entered. If you’re already connected and the code gets revoked, the app shows: “[Business name] has removed your field access. Contact your manager if you think this is a mistake.”

Revoked codes cannot be reactivated. Your manager will need to create a new code for you and share it. See Set Up Field Mode for how managers create new codes.


Connection fails with a network error #

The app needs an active internet connection to validate a code on first entry โ€” it calls your manager’s account to confirm the code is valid and download the pricing configuration.

  • Check that your iPhone has cellular or Wi-Fi data. Open Safari and try loading a webpage to confirm
  • If you’re on a corporate or school Wi-Fi network, outbound connections may be blocked. Try switching to cellular
  • Force-close PriceRight Pro and try again once your connection is restored

The code was valid before but won’t connect now #

After a valid first connection, the app stores the configuration locally and refreshes it periodically. If an established connection stops working:

  • Rate limited. Too many rapid connection attempts from one device can trigger a temporary rate limit. Wait a few minutes and try again
  • Device mismatch. Access codes are tied to the device that first used them. If you’ve switched to a new iPhone, your manager will need to create a new code for your new device
  • Server error. If the issue is on the server side, it’s usually temporary. Wait a few minutes and try again. If it persists, contact support

For managers: verifying a code is active #

Open Field Mode โ†’ Field Users and tap the field worker’s row. The code status shows whether it’s active or revoked. If it was accidentally revoked, you’ll need to create a new code โ€” revoked codes can’t be restored. Tap Share Code + Setup Instructions to send the new code directly to the worker.
