Error message
Email address is already in use by another account.

Common causes

  • Another account already has this email address.
  • The address differs from another account's only by characters that Paddle treats as equivalent, such as letter case or accents.

Troubleshooting

  • Use an email address that no other account has.
  • If the address should belong to this account, change it on the account that currently has it first.
