Resolve Error Messages
Interpret common errors and take the fastest safe fix before escalating.
Steps
- Read the exact error message and note when it occurred.
- Identify what you were doing when it appeared:
- Try the lowest-risk fix once:
- Confirm network/terminal connection
- Confirm youโre in the correct office/location
- If the error persists, capture details:
- Reference ID/transaction ID (if applicable)
What Happens Next
- Some errors resolve once connectivity or sync timing stabilizes.
- Repeatable errors should be escalated with the captured details.
Youโll Know It Worked When
- The workflow completes successfully after the retry.
- The expected result appears in PayStack (and in the PMS, if applicable) within normal timing.
Common Issues
- Payment-related error: confirm terminal connectivity and retry once.
- Access-related error: log out/in or reset password if needed.
- Sync-related error: wait for normal sync timing, then re-check before retrying again.
