When Access Isn't Easy: Resolving Login Challenges
⚠️ Cannot access my account or forgot password
Cause: Incorrect password, initial password not known, or account lockout.
Solution: Your shopkeeper is your primary contact for all password-related issues, including initial setup or resets. GoAntiquing! directly supports shop owners, not individual dealers. We understand being locked out can be frustrating, so reach out to your shopkeeper first for the fastest resolution. If allowed by your shopkeeper, you may be able to change your password directly from the login page after initial access.
⚠️ Not receiving Sales Alerts via email
Cause: Shopkeeper settings, incorrect email, or emails blocked by your provider.
Solution: First, confirm with your shopkeeper that they have enabled Sales Alerts for your account and that your correct email address is on file. Also, add [email protected] to your email's 'safe sender' list to prevent alerts from being sent to spam.
⚠️ General questions about portal usage
Cause: Unfamiliarity with features or navigation.
Solution: For any questions on how to use the GoAntiquing! Gateway, your shopkeeper is your go-to resource. They can provide guidance on navigating your dashboard and utilizing its features. You can also submit a support request form through the GoAntiquing! website, which will be sent directly to your shop's email.
Keeping Your Sales Data Secure: Portal Safeguards
- 🔒 Always use a strong, unique password for your GoAntiquing! Gateway account.
