Quick Reference Index
This index contains links to FAQ and step-by-step resolutions for Express Pay cases.
Issue | Reasoning |
| Entry Blocked / "Session Didn't Start" SMS Alerts | Resolve entry failures where drivers receive an SMS alert that their session could not start (prior open sessions or multi-vehicle conflicts). |
| How to cancel an Express Pay session | The driver needs to cancel their current parking session without unenrolling their vehicle from the Express Pay program. |
| What is the Express Pay Experience? | A seamless, contactless payment solution powered by the ParkWhiz platform and Flash PARCS. Express Pay uses license plate recognition (LPR) to automate parking transactions. |
| Camera fails when reading a License Plate | The entry LPR system successfully matched the license plate to an active Express Pay session, but the exit LPR system failed to read or match the plate. |
| Clearing Orphaned Sessions via Flash Admin "Clean Up Tickets" | When an attendant manually opens a gate to vend a driver without scanning their credential, the associated Express Pay session and PARCS ticket remain in "Open" status. As long as this session remains unresolved, the system will block the driver from initiating any future Express Pay sessions. |
| Deleting Sold/Replaced Vehicles from Express Pay | The driver sold or lost a vehicle and needs to remove it entirely from their profile. |
| Confirming Express Pay when entering the facility | At some Flash PARCS locations, drivers enrolled in Express Pay may see a prompt at the entry kiosk asking whether they want to use Express Pay for that visit. |
| Towed Vehicle Exception & Billing Reconciliation | When a vehicle is towed, it skips the exit camera, leaving its parking session open. |
| Express Pay Vehicle Unenrollment Workflow | The driver wants to unenroll their vehicle so their credit card is no longer charged automatically. |
| Receipts & Transaction Verification | Drivers inquiring about expense reporting or proof of payment. |
