My account name is jamesbeltz.smugmug.com

My customer order number is 160528

Customer got the confirmation email and clicked on the link provided to go download her image. She was promted for an email address and password. She did not recall creating a password. There is no link on that page to click if you dont not remember your password. Customer sent email to [EMAIL="help@smugmug"]help@smugmug[/EMAIL] and got the following reply - "Hello Kathie - if we did not ask you to set a password, then you probably already have an account with us. Try loggin in to the site first with that and then going to view your order." But customer does not have an account with Smugmug. Nor was she logged in under me or another smugmug user when she made her purchase. She is just a guest at the wedding that wanted to purchase some prints. Please advise as soon as possible.

    Your #1 fix-it man, Andy is away right now, so the best help I can give you is for YOU to mail smugmug help

    http://www.smugmug.com/help/emailreal

    and for you to state clearly what happened, how their answer is unacceptable and ask them for help. You will get a response very shortly. They've got superior support in general, even if that one answer fell short. Be clear, about what you need and they'll do whatever it takes to make it work.

    Thanks. I did that and have not gotten a reply yet. I usually get a response back in no time, but in this case did not. So I thought I would hit the forum as well.

    About 3 hours now. Since you are replying, can you help? I am assuming that since you are replying you have some pull.

    Hi! I can help. I'm on the help desk right now actually, and we have no messages in the cue. headscratch.gif

    Did you check your bulk folder in case our reply got caught in there? I'm not sure which email address you used to contact us, so I'd have a hard time tracking down your initial email. I can help your customer however. Give me a few minutes more and I'll have an answer for you thumb.gif

    Hi James,

    I was able to find your email and (my!) response. You emailed at 11:16 EST requesting "Please help me fix this and understand what happened so I can better prep my customers in advance." and I responded at 11:42 EST with this:

    "Thanks for contacting SmugMug. I'm so sorry for the trouble! Unless your customer was signed in as a SmugMug account holder, they were required to create a password when placing the order.
    I've put in a request to have a "password-reset" feature for orders. In the meantime, you can let your customers know that they'll need to remember the email address and password used to place the order.
    For the customer who has forgotten, please have them email us and we'll get them sorted out!"

    I'm sorry if that was confusing to you. You had asked how you can better prep your customers, so I suggested letting them know they'll need to remember the email address and password they use when they place an order.

    For the current problem, I asked that you have the customer email us at help@smugmug.com so we can help them!
