FAQs
UPC
Please ensure that you have followed the steps in Where can I see UPC details? to view the UPC details. If you are still not able to see the UPC details, contact us for further assistance.
Please ensure that you have followed the steps in How do I Charge a UPC? Below are the 3 most common errors and how you can troubleshoot them:
- Insufficient Funds — Please ensure that you are charging the correct amount as shown in the booking confirmation. You will receive an error showing “insufficient fund” if you attempt to charge any amount that is higher than the booking value.
- Security Violation — This will show if there are more than 5 failed attempts to charge the card. Please wait for 1 hour before attempting to charge again, and make sure you charge with the correct details and a stable internet connection.
- Card Blocked FRE10 — This will show if you attempt to use the card for any activity outside of booking-related payments. You will need to contact us and explain the incident before we can remove the block.
- If you cannot charge the card due to a recent change in your card machine’s merchant, please contact us for further assistance.
- If you see an error message “Transaction not supported by the card issuer“, please check all keys in the data (expiry date, CVV, or incorrect input of 16 digits) and attempt to charge again. The most common issue is putting the incorrect date format, which is MMYY.
- If you see an error message “Invalid Card Number“, please re-check and re-enter the correct 16 digits of UPC.
It is important to understand that you are required to collect payment within the 150-day deadline. You can contact us for assistance if you did not collect the payment within the deadline.
- If you have authorized a partial amount, proceed to use the same authorization code and charge the partial amount first. Then proceed to authorize and charge the remaining amount.
- If you have authorized and charged only partial amount, proceed to repeat the same action to collect the remaining amount.
In both cases, we recommend you check the booking amount and the amount that you have authorized/charged. You will receive an error showing “insufficient fund” if you attempt to charge any amount that is higher than the booking value.
ePass General
- Please ensure your payment method is under one of the payment types below. If you recently requested to switch payment methods, you will only see the Finance tab when the change is completed.
- Please use an authorized email account with the Finance tab access to log in. You will not be able to access the Finance tab if you are not the authorized user. To request access, contact us.
- The transactions will become visible on the Current Transactionss page when they become eligible for payment. For example, non-refundable bookings are eligible for payment on the booking date, while Flexible Cancellation bookings will be eligible for payment upon guest departure.
- Only bookings in the last 150 days will be displayed on the Current Transactions page.
- Check if you have already collected payment by go to YCS > Finance > Remittance tab. If the transaction has already been submitted, it would not reflect on the Current Transactions tab but on the Remittance tab.
- If you have not collected the payment, please wait up to 24 hours then try again YCS > Finance > Current Transactions tab.
Make sure you have followed the steps on this page. If you have, then it could be due to a system delay; wait up to 24 hours then try to find the payment on ePass again.
