I've forgotten my password
On the login page click “Forgot password”, enter the account email address, and follow the link sent by email. The link is valid for 60 minutes. If nothing arrives check spam and that the address entered is the account’s. A changed password works immediately, there is no waiting time.
I no longer have access to my account's email address
Changing the login email is done through human support, after verification, and that is deliberate, for the security of your account.
My guest sees “welcome book not available” or “welcome book deactivated”
This is not an account problem. “This welcome book is not available for the moment”: the welcome book is not activated or is no longer attached to the subscription; it is in My welcome books, “To renew” view (the guest can notify you from that page). “Welcome book deactivated”: you have paused it; reactivate it from the “Deactivated” view. In both cases the QR works again immediately, no need to reprint.
Why am I asked to secure my account?
Until your phone and email are verified a “Secure your account” banner appears. Click “Verify now”: a code is sent by SMS (or by email for the address) to enter on the screen. To protect your account, a first code may be sent to your email before the phone code. Verified phone helps us recognise you if you contact us and protects your account if someone tries to log in from another device.
I don’t receive the verification code
The code is valid for 10 minutes. Check the number entered (with its country code) and your spam for an email code, then “Resend code”. Enter a mobile number with its international prefix (+33, +32…): all countries are accepted, but not a French landline nor some special numbers. After too many attempts request a new code. If nothing arrives contact our team.
Why must I verify my phone before paying?
For account security, any purchase (subscription, seasonal plan, translation credits, SMS, Boutique, paid poster) requires a verified phone. The code arrives by SMS; once verified, retry your purchase if it does not resume automatically. The free poster is not concerned.
Why am I asked for a code when logging in?
Because you are signing in from a device or browser we do not yet recognise, and your phone is verified: a code is sent by SMS (and also by email, unless you sign in by magic link or with Google) to confirm it’s you. You also receive an email “New sign-in to your account”; without a verified phone only that email notifies you. If it wasn’t you change your password. If you no longer have access to your number contact our team, who will verify your identity.
Does changing my password sign out my other devices?
Yes: in My account, Settings tab, a new password signs out your other devices for security. The “forgot current password?” link helps if you do not remember it.
Should I declare myself a business or private individual for invoices?
In My account, Profile tab, Billing section. Business: company, sole trader, micro-business or furnished holiday lettings registered (LMNP) with a SIRET number, for a billing address in France or overseas, SIRET is mandatory and format is validated (elsewhere a company number is optional), and your VAT number is validated if present. Private: you do not have a SIRET. These details appear on your invoices, which must be accurate with electronic billing.
Where do I find my client ID for support?
In My account, Profile tab: the client ID button copies a ready message to paste in your request, with your ID and account address. The team can find your account immediately.
What are notifications (the bell) for?
A badge on your avatar (bottom of the sidebar) signals new items; click it, then “Notifications”. You find items needing your attention: an order to process, a new review (a low rating is flagged), a referral, a drop in translation or Boutique SMS credits, a free poster near its scan limit, the end of the Boutique trial, management software changes to validate. A click goes to the right screen. A resolved situation (balance topped up, changes validated, order processed) disappears automatically; a review or referral remains until you have seen it.
I closed my account, can I reopen it?
Yes, as long as it has not been deleted (one year after closure): in My account, Subscription tab, “Reopen my account”, choosing a plan. You recover your welcome books; guest data is deleted 90 days after closure.
