TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING

APP NOT RECOGNIZING NEARBY MARKET

  • If you have a good Internet connection, but the app is still not recognizing the nearby market, make sure your Bluetooth and Location Services are ON.
  • If you do have a good Internet connection, and your Bluetooth and Location Services are ON, but the app is still not recognizing the nearby market, terminate and restart the app.

SCAN ICON IN BOTTOM MENU DOES NOTHING WHEN CLICKED; SCAN WINDOW IS BLANK/GREY

  • Make sure you have given the app access to your phone’s camera:
    • iOS:
      1. Go to Settings -> GrabScanGo (in the list of apps)
      2. Turn Camera ON
    • Android:
      1. Go to Settings -> Apps or Application Manager –> GrabScanGo (in the list of apps)
      2. Turn Camera ON

NO INTERNET CONNECTION

  • Check that you have a good Wi-Fi or cellular connection. One way to do this is to visit any website using your mobile browser, and check whether it is displayed successfully.

Note: Many Wi-Fi access points require you to sign in, check in, or accept terms, before connecting you to the Internet.

PRODUCT BARCODE NOT SCANNING

  • If the app is not able to scan a product’s barcode, try the following:
    • Make sure the barcode is sufficiently illuminated, so your phone’s camera can recognize it
    • If it is a refrigerated food or beverage, wipe away any moisture that may be obscuring the barcode
  • If a product’s barcode is still not scanning properly, it is likely that the market operator has not correctly added it to the system, or the barcode is damaged. In the latter case, go to the “Search” screen, find the product using the “Search” box, and manually add it to shopping cart.

SHOPPING CART DOES NOTHING WHEN CLICKED (ANDROID)

  • Make sure you have given the app access to your phone’s storage:
    1. Go to Settings -> Apps or Application Manager –> GrabScanGo
    2. Turn Storage ON

REPURCHASING PRODUCTS

  • Click on the “Your Recent Purchases at this Location” link on the Home screen, the “Your Recent Purchases at this Location” button on the History screen, or the “Recent Purchases” category on the “Search” screen, to quickly repurchase your recently-purchased products – saves you valuable time by not having to scan or browse/search for the products again and again.

REFUNDS

  • If product is damaged or expired, you may request replacement of product or refund of amount charged by contacting the market operator – include name of product, date of purchase, and description of damage or expiration
  • We reserve the right to deny refunds or replacements if abuse of product is evident or certain circumstances arise that are beyond our control
  • Refund request must be made no more than 7 business days after date of purchase
  • Refund request will be processed in order received, and usually within 5 days of receipt date – an email message will be sent to requestor once refund has been processed
  • Refund can only be made to requestor’s Stored Funds or payment card account – no cash refunds will be provided

DEBIT & CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS

  • In order to purchase products using the GrabScanGo app, you will need to give us certain information:
    • Contact information – name, email address, mobile number
    • Debit or credit card information – card type, number, expiration date, CVV, and zip code
  • We store your contact information in our system
  • We do NOT store your debit or credit card number on our servers – it is only stored on our payment gateway provider’s (Apriva) servers; The GrabScanGo app uses industry standard TLS/SSL encryption to securely transmit debit or credit card information from the app to our payment gateway provider when you add a card; After you add the card, we only store non-sensitive card information such as the card type, the last four digits of the card number, the expiration date, and the zip code, to enable future card-on-file processing of payments for your purchases

IMPORTANT: When you add a debit or credit card to your Wallet, our payment gateway provider will charge $0.01 to your card to ensure that it is valid. This $0.01 charge will be automatically refunded back to your card.

STORED FUNDS

  • Load an amount of $5 or more to your “Stored Funds” account using your debit or credit card, and then use the balance to purchase products
  • When you purchase products using “Stored Funds”, the purchase amount will be deducted from your balance
  • If the purchase amount exceeds the balance in your “Stored Funds” account, you will need to reload the account (see below) before you can complete the purchase
  • If you cancel your GrabScanGo account, and would like a refund of the balance in your “Stored Funds” account, send a message to GrabScanGo

ADD FUNDS TO YOUR STORED FUNDS ACCOUNT

  • On the “Check Out” screen, click “Add Funds”
  • Select payment card from which to load funds
