🛒 Common issues while placing your order

Promotion code isn't working

If your promotion code isn’t applying correctly, don’t worry. Here are a few things to check and steps to help you resolve the issue.

Step 1: Check the details of your code

Before trying again, make sure that:

•The code is entered exactly as shown, including capital letters, numbers, or special characters.

•The code hasn’t expired since most promotion codes have an expiration date.

•The code applies to your order because some offers are valid only for specific products or for first-time purchases.

Step 2: Apply your code correctly

1. On the checkout page, locate the Add promotion code field.

2. Enter your code exactly as it appears in your email or gift card.

3. Click Apply to see your discount reflected in the order total.

If the issue continues after checking all of the above, we’ll be happy to take a look and make sure your promotion is applied correctly.

Can't place your order due to address availability

If you’re seeing an error that says your address isn’t available, it usually appears when you try to add the Legacybox add-on to your purchase.

Legacybox’s service is currently available only within the United States. If you’re located outside the US, please remove the Legacybox add-on from your cart to complete your purchase successfully.

💡 You can still add photos to your book if you already have them digitized. If not, you can use a local photo digitization service in your area to convert your physical photos before uploading them.

Email address issues with multiple storytellers

When you're setting up Remento for more than one storyteller, each person needs their own unique email address. This ensures everyone receives their personalized prompts and welcome messages.

What you need to know:

  • Each storyteller must have a different email address

  • You cannot use the same email for multiple storytellers

  • The storyteller's email should be one they check regularly to receive their weekly prompts

Don't have separate email addresses? You can create free email accounts through services like Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook specifically for this purpose. This ensures each storyteller gets their own personalized experience.

What if my storyteller doesn't have an email address?

We understand that some storytellers, especially older family members, may not use email regularly or may not have an email address at all. While an email address is required to set up an account, there are several ways to make this process easier.

Option 1: Create an email address on their behalf.

You can set up a simple email account for your storyteller using a free service like Gmail. You’ll manage this email and can forward their weekly prompts in whatever way works best for them.

Option 2: Use a family email address.

If your storyteller is comfortable with it, you can use a family member’s shared email address, as long as it isn’t already linked to another Remento storyteller account.

Option 3: Use alternative ways to send prompts and record stories.

Even if your storyteller doesn’t use email, they can still receive weekly prompts via text message or any preferred messaging app. You can copy the recording links from your project dashboard and share them directly. You can also personally assist your storyteller by logging in to your account on your own device and helping them record their stories from there.

Welcome email not received

Your storyteller's welcome email is an important first step; it contains their personalized gift message and all the information they need to get onboarded with the project.

If your storyteller hasn't received their welcome email, try these steps:

1. Check the delivery date. The welcome email is sent on the gift delivery date you selected during checkout. If that date hasn't arrived yet, the email won't be sent until then.

2. Check spam/junk folders. Sometimes welcome emails end up in spam filters. Have your storyteller check their:

  • Spam or junk mail folder

  • Promotions tab (if using Gmail)

  • Other email filters or folders

3. Verify the email address. Double-check that you entered the correct email address during setup. Even a small typo can prevent delivery.

4. Wait a few minutes. If the delivery date is today, the email may take a few minutes to arrive. Check back shortly.

Still missing after checking all of these? Our support team can resend the welcome email or verify the email address on file. Reach out through the chat support icon with:

  • Your storyteller's name

  • The email address they should have received the welcome message at

  • The gift delivery date you selected

We'll get your storyteller set up and ready to begin sharing their stories right away.
