Why am I receiving an error message that "This email address is already associated with an account" when I try to create a new customer profile?

Customer Error Message

This error occurs when creating a customer profile using the same email address that has previously been archived. If a customer's profile is deleted, that email address is archived, and support must be contacted to reuse that email address.


Steps to Unarchive and Reactivate Emails

  1. Submit a Request to Unarchive:

    • An admin or authorized employee with merge/unmerge account permissions will need to confirm this request to unarchive the email.

  2. Processing Time:

    • The process generally takes up to 72 business hours, though this may vary based on system load.

  3. Post-Unarchiving Actions:

    • Once unarchived, the email address becomes usable for updates or initiating new actions, such as recreating accounts.
