Customer Support
Prior to reaching out to our support team, we request you to verify the following:
- You have successfully completed the following essential courses:
- Understanding of Fynd Development Kit and Fynd APIs if you are developing the extension/theme using CLI.
Fynd offers technical support to assist partners in resolving issues encountered on the Fynd Partners platform. These issues may vary ranging from configuration challenges to infrastructure-level concerns.
To handle this effectively, Fynd follows a multi-tiered support model, where each tier (level) addresses a specific category of issues based on their complexity and urgency. This structure ensures that every query is routed to the appropriate level of expertise, leading to quicker and more accurate resolutions.
Implementing such a tiered approach optimizes internal support workflows and enhances the partner experience by reducing resolution times and preventing unnecessary escalations.
This page explains the different support tiers and severity levels, including their scope, response times, and escalation paths.
Types of Support
Fynd Partners provides multiple layers of support to assist partners based on the nature and urgency of the issue. The recommended flow of seeking support is as follows:
1. Copilot Bot
Begin with our AI-powered Copilot for instant assistance with commonly asked questions, configuration steps, and troubleshooting tips.
2. Customer Support
For issues that require technical investigation or cannot be resolved via Copilot, raise a support ticket through the Fynd Partner panel.
When creating a ticket, you’ll be prompted to select a severity level.
Refer to the Severity and Priority Categorization table for definitions, examples, and SLA timelines.
Create a Support Ticket
