How to manage common client concerns
1. Basic Troubleshooting
These basic troubleshooting steps can fix common issues like: app crashing, courses not loading, features not showing, etc. You can share these to your clients too or even add this bit in one of your lessons.
a. Log out of the app
b. Uninstall the app
c. Clear app cache. You can refer to these external resources:
- How to clear cache on iPhone — declutter your iOS device
- How (and when) to clear app cache or data on Android
d. Reinstall the latest version of the app (if available)
e. If the issue persists, please let your clients know that they can go to their Profile Settings > Report a technical problem > click on REPORT A BUG button, so our Passion.io Support Team can check it further.
If it's you who is experiencing the issue, please use this Tech Support Request Form.
2. Cannot sign up to the app
It may be that your client is already subscribed to another app created within Passion.io. This means that his email address is already in our system. To purchase another subscription, the client can simply log into the app instead of clicking Sign Up.
3. Cannot access the subscription
If your client purchased the program via App Store or Google Play Store but cannot access the subscription, it may be due to an interruption of internet connection when they made the purchase. You can ask them to go to their App Settings and click on Restore Purchase. That should fix the issue.
Please note that we are unable to control their access from our internal system if it was an in-app or external purchase. We are only able to see whether a purchase was successful or not.
If it's about a particular course, you may want to check your PassionBuilder. It may be that the course was not included in the pricing plan. Tick the box of the course that is to be included then save the pricing plan. It should automatically reflect on your client’s app. If it doesn't, please ask the client to log out then log back into the app.
4. Cannot access the Web App with the password and email that was sent
You can tell your client to try using a different browser or just click Forgot Password from the login page. You can also check on you PassionMetrics if the email address appears to make sure that account creation was indeed successful. If account was not successfully created, please repeat the Sign Up process.
If Forgot Password doesn't do the trick, please write in to instructor@passion.io with the Subject Line: Client Password Reset, so we can reset their password from our end.
5. Cannot purchase programs
Is your client trying to purchase the program in Passion.io app? The Passion.io app is for in-app viewing only. All purchases must be made via Web app or branded apps.
If the client is getting an error saying that no payment was set up yet, please look into your Sales Page and make sure that the Web App URL field is empty. Remember that the Web App URL field should be left empty when using PassionPayments. You will only fill in the Web App URL field if you want to use an external payment processor.
6. Client Request for Cancellation of Subscription
For cancellation, please refer to the following information:
In-App Purchase
1. iOS devices (Apple)
Open the Settings app
Tap Your Name on the top
Tap Subscriptions
Tap the subscription that you want to manage.
Tap Cancel Subscription (If you don’t see Cancel, the subscription is already canceled and won't renew.)
2. Android devices (Google)
On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store
At the top right, tap the profile icon
Tap Payments & Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions
Select the subscription you want to cancel.

- Then, Edit Plans
- Click on the gear icon to activate or cancel a plan
7. Client Request for a Refund
If the purchase was made via PassionPayments, then you have to refund her from your Stripe account. Click here to follow the Stripe process for refunds.
For in-app purchase (Apple or Google), please share the following links to your clients:
Request a refund for a Google Play purchase
Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple
Please note that we cannot process refunds for in-app purchases because Apple and Google are third-party platforms. Also, we do not have access to their billing system because it is your own account that is connected to these platforms.
8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
