Occasionally, you or your customers may create multiple WebShop accounts using the same email address. This may cause confusion since it is difficult to differentiate between the accounts. Should you find duplicate accounts using the same email address:

  • Update the email address to a different email address.

This removes the link between the duplicate accounts.
