Just create fake email addresses here for your tests: [ www.jetable.org/en/index](http://www.jetable.org/en/index) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzcxNTAyLWhvdy10by1tYWtlLXJlZy1lbWFpbC1ub3QtdW5pcXVlLWZvci10ZXN0aW5nP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[SuzyBGood](/forum/user/8544-suzybgood "View SuzyBGood's Profile")** - [![SuzyBGood's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/8544-suzybgood "View SuzyBGood's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/8544-suzybgood) Less More - Posts: 103 - Thank you received: 0 - - 14 years 3 weeks ago [\#71546](#71546) by [SuzyBGood](/forum/user/8544-suzybgood "View SuzyBGood's Profile") Replied by *[SuzyBGood](/forum/user/8544-suzybgood "View SuzyBGood's Profile")* on topic *[Re: How to make Reg email NOT unique for testing...](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/71502-how-to-make-reg-email-not-unique-for-testing#71546 "I can't register myself twice (for testing) and figure out where to change it?

When I find it I will post. A way easier solution that managing multiple email addresses... Thanks!

It's joomla which does that with the user information provided via the HikaShop registration form. So there is nothing to change in HikaShop.
