If a customer reaches out to your support team instead of using the claims link, you can raise a case for them directly through the Merchant Portal.
1. How to Raise a Case
- Open the Shipments tab in the Merchant Portal
- Select the order
- Click Notify Case
This action:
- Automatically creates a case
- Skips customer verification (as you’re already authorised)
You can choose whether or not to send a customer-facing confirmation email.
2. When This Is Useful
- The customer cannot access their original email
- The customer is confused or struggling with the claims portal
- You want to resolve the issue proactively without waiting for the customer to lodge a case
This keeps the experience smooth for your customer while keeping everything properly recorded for insurance purposes.
