Unexpected App Behavior: Getting Back to Seamless Shopping
⚠️ Unable to Log In
Cause: Incorrect email or password, or an existing account conflict.
Solution: We understand being locked out can be frustrating. First, double-check your email address and password for any typos. Ensure you're not accidentally copying extra spaces if pasting your credentials. If you've previously registered with UNIQLO, remember that your login details are shared between GU and UNIQLO. If you continue to face issues, utilize the パスワード設定・再設定について (About password setting/re-setting) option on the login screen to reset your password. If your email is reported as 'already registered,' it might be connected to a UNIQLO account already.
⚠️ App Not Functioning Correctly or Showing Errors
Cause: Outdated app version, network issues, or device incompatibility.
Solution: Unexpected app behavior can often be resolved with a few simple steps. Ensure your GU App is updated to the latest version via your device's app store (App Store for iPhone, Google Play Store for Android). Verify that your device has a stable network connection. If you're experiencing errors, especially during payment processes like PayPay, ensure your device's operating system (iOS 16.0+ or Android 9.0+) is supported, and try accessing the online store via Google Chrome if the issue persists on the app.
⚠️ Purchase History Not Displaying Correctly
Cause: Logged in with a different account than the one used for the purchase.
Solution: If your purchase history appears incomplete, it's likely you are logged into a different account than the one used for your previous transactions. Simply log out of the current account and then log back in using the correct email and password associated with those purchases. This will refresh your personalized history.
Fortifying Your GU Account: Data Privacy and Online Safety
- 🔒 Always maintain updated software: Ensure your smartphone's operating system (iOS or Android) and the GU App are running their latest versions to benefit from the newest security patches.
- 🔒 Create a robust, unique password: Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols for your GU account password, and avoid reusing passwords from other online services.
- 🔒 Be vigilant against phishing attempts: GU will never ask for your password or sensitive personal information via unverified emails or messages. Always verify the sender before clicking links or providing data.
- 🔒 Review your account activity regularly: Periodically check your purchase history and account settings within the app to ensure all activity is legitimate and authorized.
- 🔒 Utilize strong network connections: When making purchases or accessing sensitive account information, prefer secure, private Wi-Fi networks over public, unsecured ones to protect your data during transmission.
🎧 Official Support & Help Center
For assistance with your GU App or online account, you can reach out via email at [email protected]. Live chat support is also available, and you can inquire by phone by making a reservation through the customer service portal, typically available from 9:00 to 17:00 daily.
