Grant NFC, notification, and location permissions
This guide is for drivers setting up ExpressCharge on iPhone for the first time. You’ll grant the notification permission the app needs so your phone wakes up the moment a card needs scanning.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- ExpressCharge installed on your iPhone.
- You’ve signed in to your account.
Goal Allow ExpressCharge to send notifications
Time~1 min
-
Open the priming screen
After you sign in, ExpressCharge shows a screen titled Allow notifications with a bell icon. This screen explains why the app needs the permission before iOS shows its own prompt.

ExpressCharge priming screen explaining why notifications are needed
The priming screen appears once, right after sign-in. -
Tap Allow Notifications
Tap the Allow Notifications button. iOS then shows its system prompt asking whether ExpressCharge can send you alerts, sounds, and badges.
-
Confirm in the iOS prompt
Tap Allow in the system prompt. ExpressCharge registers your iPhone for remote notifications as soon as you confirm.
Verify
Section titled “Verify”You know the permission is granted when:
- The priming screen closes and you land on the next setup step.
- Settings → ExpressCharge → Notifications shows Allow Notifications turned on.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”I tapped “Not now” and want to change my mind. Open the iOS Settings app, scroll to ExpressCharge, tap Notifications, and turn on Allow Notifications.
The system prompt never appeared. iOS only shows its prompt once per install. If you’ve already denied it, open Settings → ExpressCharge → Notifications and enable alerts there.
