If you are not automatically recognized, simply locate the Authentic Membership promotional blocks in cart or checkout and select ‘Log In’ or ‘Already a Member?’, respectively. You will be directed to Shop Pay checkout and prompted to enter the email address associated with your Authentic Membership account. A 6-digit Shop verification code will subsequently be delivered to the mobile device associated with your account. You must use the email address associated with your Authentic Membership account when checking out with Shop Pay to see the Authentic Membership benefits apply.
