Why we love Support Tickets so very much...

Support Tickets are the preferred method of contact with the Modular Merchant Support Team for questions, bug reports, projects, feature requests or any other need. 

Support Tickets are encouraged because:
  1. They are your direct line of communication with the Tech Support Staff. Modular Merchant's tech support team receives an instant notice whenever a support ticket is created or updated by a client. 
  2. Support tickets are also given priority over phone calls and email, and do not have to compete with spam. 
  3. Support tickets can be submitted 24 hours per day and viewed by the entire Modular Merchant Support Team.
 
Tips for writing a good Support Ticket

To expedite the response to your request, be sure to include the following, if applicable:
  • Provide the SID (System ID) number of any customer, product, order, etc., that is being referred to.
  • Provide the URLs of any pages of the admin area, storefront, or other websites that are related to the ticket.  Simply copy & paste the URL from your web browser's address bar.
  • Are specific steps required to recreate a problem? Include those steps.
  • Was a specific error message displayed?  Provide the exact error message (copy & paste, if possible).
  • Screenshots are usually helpful, and always appreciated!
example
Here is an example of a poor support ticket submission.  The Modular Merchant tech support department was forced to request additional info, thus delaying the issue from being quickly solved:

customers have reported today that teh shiping methods arent working right


example
Here is an example of a similar support ticket submission, but it contained the info that allowed Modular Merchant to investigate and resolve the matter right away:

Hello,
A customer reported to us today that he was unable to get any shipping rates to appear in the checkout, so he was unable to complete his order.  The customer's SID number is 10081.  The basket contained 2 units of product SID #123, and one unit of product SID #456.  Please let me know what is going on so I can contact the customer and let him know.
