Yes, the domain had gone through, and I've now successfully renewed custom design through the correct user account.

Apparently, they payment for the domain must have gone through, since it's good until 2014. :)

That should include a custom domain plus the registration of that domain, and also a custom design upgrade. I think the domain upgrade did get renewed (it said the transaction failed, but it appears actually to have gone through), but we did not try to renew the custom design upgrade yet.

Thank you for your help!

As it turns out, I was not the owner -- when I found the link you point out, it offered only "remove" (others in that list offered the transfer option, so I know I was int he right place). I did successfully remove myself, but it hasn't solved my problem.

Apparently the purchase of the upgrades was made while logged into my account, not the actual owner's (even though we used her credit card info). So now, on her dashboard, there is information saying "this upgrade is up for renewal," but it shows that the purchase was made by me and offers no way to renew it via her account.

Is there any way to remedy this? Do we need to let it lapse, and then re-purchase it?

It's time to renew her upgrades, but she can't renew them from her dashboard -- only I seem to have access to the renewal. How can we switch so that she "owns" the domain and can make the renewals?
