Fitbit Pay not working all the time

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Hello

 

On occasion, my Fitbit pay fails.  The last time I was trying to pay at a terminal that I have successfully paid multiple times.

What happens is as follows. 

I press the side button I get a screen to enter pin. 

I get the card screen

I present to the terminal. Works fine.

 

On the occasions, it fails. 

I press the side button, the screen goes strait to the card, no pin asked for.

I present to the terminal and fails.

Shop assistant resets terminal present watch to the terminal and again fails

I use my Rabo pin card, without resetting the shop terminal and the card works fine

 

I am guessing I need a way to reset the watch to re-enter the pin number. 

or is there something else going on?

 

Dan

Welcome to the Community @Heimdaal! Thanks for the details that you've mentioned. It's pretty weird that Fitbit Pay isn't working all the time. I would like you to check the following details: 

 

- Check that they are no beeps at POS or the device can't communicate with the POS 

 

If the payment terminal isn't recognizing Fitbit Pay: 

 

- Make sure the merchant uses contactless payment methods  

Make sure the watch face is near the reader and that the cashier knows you’re using a contactless payment

You must wear your watch on your wrist to make payments with Fitbit Pay

- If prompted, enter your 4-digit watch PIN code

- When the payment succeeds, your watch vibrates and you’ll see a confirmation on the screen

 

If you've checked the information above, then try this troubleshooting: 

 

  • Uninstall card from wallet app 
  • Uninstall wallet app 
  • Delete Fitbit app 
  • Reinstall app 
  • Reinstall wallet app 
  • Re add your card 
  • Restart Ionic

If after this, your card is not working all the time then answer to the following questions: 

- Is it happening at the same store? 

- Does it happen while using the same card? 

 

Let me know how it goes.

To answer your questions as you ask 

 

When it does not work the terminal beeps 

 

They do use contact less pay. My watch works most of the time. 

 

Yes I am near the reader. It beeps

 

It happens in different places. 

I only use one card. 

 

I can go back to the same store. Then it works again.
