Logging in

Sign in to your Crate dashboard with your email and password — and learn what to do if the credentials don't match or you've turned on two-factor authentication.

🖥 Web 📱 Mobile ▶ Video walkthrough

Signing in to Crate takes two fields and a click. Once you're in, you have your whole store in one place — catalogue, orders, payments, marketing and your live storefront.

Before you start

You need the email address and password you created your account with. If you signed up with a partner or teammate's invitation, use the email the invite was sent to.

Tip: Tick Remember me on a device that's yours alone, and Crate keeps you signed in so you skip this screen next time. On a shared or public computer, leave it unticked and sign out when you're done.

If your credentials don't match

If you see Email or password is incorrect, it means one of the two doesn't match what's on file. Check for a stray space, the wrong capitalisation, or an old password. For security, Crate shows the same message whether the email exists or not — so the wording never confirms which field was wrong.

Can't remember your password? Click Forgot password? on the sign-in card and we'll email you a reset link. Once you've set a new password, come back here and sign in with it.

If you use two-factor authentication

If you've turned on two-factor authentication, Crate asks for a 6-digit authenticator code after your password checks out. Open your authenticator app, read the current code, and enter it — or paste one of your saved recovery codes if you don't have the app to hand.
