I forgot my password. What do I do?

Click "Forgot Password" on the login page. We'll send a password reset link to your registered email address.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Account Settings → Privacy & Data → Delete Account. This action is permanent and cannot be undone. All your shops, products, and data will be permanently deleted.
