Issues Tropic Support Handles

Contact Tropic Skincare if you experience:

  • A free item missing from your order

  • A missing or undelivered order

  • Questions about order tracking

  • Commission payment issues

Penny Support focuses only on questions related to the Penny app experience.


I’m Having Trouble Logging In or Verifying My Account

This usually happens when attempting to log in through the web version of Penny on a mobile device.

To fix the issue, log in directly through the Penny mobile app instead.

Download the Penny App

Once installed, open the app and log in with your Penny account.


I Can’t See an Order or Customer in Penny

If an order or contact appears in your Tropic back office but not in the Penny app, the contact details may be incomplete.

The Tropic team confirmed that contacts must include the following details to sync with Penny:

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Address

  • Postcode

How to Resync a Missing Order or Customer

Follow these steps to resend the information to Penny:

  1. Log in to your Tropic Skincare account.

  2. Go to My Contacts.

  3. Select the contact you want to update.

  4. Select Edit.

  5. Ensure the contact has First Name, Last Name, address and Post Code, then select Save Details.

Saving the contact again triggers the system to resend the order data to Penny.

🔥 Hot Tip: This fix can also resolve:

  • Missing customers

  • Contact details that differ between Penny and the back office

  • Orders that do not appear in Penny

Important Notes

  • Only customers whose orders are delivered directly to them will have a Customer Profile Card in Penny.

  • Orders delivered to you for distribution appear in the Order Allocation section instead.

Customers who receive orders through manual distribution will not have a contact card in Penny.


Why Can’t I Edit a Contact in Penny?

If the contact is a customer, their information is controlled by your Tropic Skincare back office.

To update their information:

  1. Log in to your Tropic Skincare account.

  2. Edit the contact details in My Contacts.

  3. Save the changes.

The updated information will automatically sync to the Penny app.


Quick Summary

If your issue relates to orders, delivery, free items, or commissions, contact Tropic Skincare Support.

If the issue relates to missing contacts, syncing issues, or logging into Penny, the steps in this guide should help resolve it.
