Customers can't log in?

Skip button not showing?
Check that "Enable Skip the Month" is enabled. Also check the skip days setting - if set to 5, the button only appears when customer is more than 5 days from billing.

Swap not showing products?
Verify products are selected in the eligible products setting. If using "Specific products", make sure you've selected which products customers can swap to.

Customer can't see their store credits?
Store credits display automatically if the customer has a balance. Check that Store Credit feature is enabled for your shop.
