APP COMPLAINT

Dear Sir/Madaam
I hope you are enjoying your day thus far. I am writing this review, because I want to know why is it that we cannot get vouchers for other meals as well. Why must the vouchers be confined to one thing which is lunch only.

Suggestion

love the new update. i’d like to suggest that we get the specific day of the week automatically to book our slots instead of scrolling down to the day of the week to book the slot.

Errors are not specific

When tapping the scan QR code tab, the app just says there was an error and it’s not my fault or something like that. I just found out on my phone that the camera permission was disabled for this app.

Vouchers for Hiddingh students

Please can there be an added option to request a second voucher for students in Performing Arts degrees as we have rehearsal times that do not allow for us to be at res for supper

Horrible app

Takes time to register, when it finally does, it takes time to verify your email address. Some days it won’t allow you to log in.

FAQ

What is Pay & Connect?

Pay & Connect is a campus payment and food voucher app specifically for the University of Cape Town (UCT). It allows students to manage food vouchers, and enables scanners and merchants to facilitate these transactions.

Who can use Pay & Connect?

The app is designed for UCT students (currently those in residences), campus scanners, and food merchants. Users need to register with their UCT student number or email and have their accounts verified.

How do students use Pay & Connect for meals?

Students can use the app to scan into residence dining halls using a QR code for meal eligibility. They can also request lunch vouchers, which are credited to their digital wallet, and spend them at campus merchants.

Can students cancel food vouchers?

Yes, students can cancel requested lunch vouchers before a university-set cut-off time, provided they haven't already spent part of the voucher. Cancelling debits the voucher value from the student's account.

How do merchants get paid with Pay & Connect?

Merchants can receive voucher payments from students directly through the app. They can then redeem these vouchers by withdrawing the funds to their linked bank accounts.

Is Pay & Connect secure?

The app uses email verification for all users and requires manual activation for scanners and merchants by UCT staff, adding layers of security. Each user has a digital wallet visible within the app.

What devices does Pay & Connect support?

Pay & Connect is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices. It is rated for ages 4 and up.

How often is Pay & Connect updated?

The latest version of Pay & Connect is 17.0.0, last updated on May 20, 2026. This indicates regular updates to maintain functionality and security.
