Communication center

This section allows you to communicate with the X-Cart Team by submitting inquiries (tickets).

Ticket Life Cycle

1. A new submitted ticket is dispatched to a corresponding department depending on the essence of the enquiry. 2. Request discussion is held until the required task is accomplished. 3. A ticket can be pre-closed automatically:

  • a Sales ticket - if no messages are posted in the ticket during 30 days (14 days in pre-sales helpdesk accounts)
  • a Project ticket - if all project tasks are finished and no messages are sent in the ticket during 30 days
  • a Support ticket - if an issue reported has been solved and no messages are posted in the ticket during several days

The Pre-closed ticket status can be changed to Closed or In Progress manually in ticket properties. 4. If the Pre-closed status is kept, the ticket will be closed automatically:

  • a Sales, Support or Generic ticket - in three days after the Pre-closed status is set and if no new messages are posted in the ticket

5. In the ‘Status’ drop-down menu select ‘Reopen’

6. Click ‘’Update

7. Note: it is advisable to reopen a ticket only if the new information directly relates to the problem reported in this ticket initially. Otherwise, your new message will be moved to a new ticket to be processed as a separate request.

Check-box ‘HotRush’

If you’ve run into an issue which renders your whole store down or disables an essential functionality, you can take advantage of the HotRush techsupport service. HotRush Support ensures request processing out of queue and within 2 hours. To enable the HotRush option for your request please tick the ‘HotRush’ check-box in ticket properties when submitting a new techsupport request or editing properties of an already submitted ticket.

How to disable ‘HotRush’

If a reported issue still persist but does not require immediate resolving for any reason, the HotRush option can be disabled by unchecking the corresponding tick-box in ticket properties. HotRush can be disabled without a limit as long as a ticket keeps the ‘Submitted’ status. As for ‘Assigned’, ‘In progress’ or ‘Re-opened’ tickets, there’s a limit to the number of times HotRush can be disabled - 3 times per one helpdesk account.The HotRush option cannot be disabled after the ‘Closed’ ticket status is set.

Drop-down menu ‘Priority’

When submitting a sales or techsupport (non HotRush) ticket, you can choose a priority level for it. The priority lever indicates how critical a request is and puts the request on a certain position in the requests queue. An issue may be:

  • Major: a response is required as fast as possible,
  • Normal: not that urgent, but a faster reply is preferred,
  • Minor: the guaranteed 24-hour response time is fine.

The priority level can be changed in ticket properties as long as a ticket is open. This is useful when an issue needs to be resolved faster.

But no mater what ticket priority level is set, the X-Cart support team do their best to process your requests within less than guaranteed one business day.

However, for most critical issues please remember to enbale the HotRush option.

Note: To prevent misuse of the Major priority level we have to impose the following restriction on the system: the more Major tickets you open the lower priority your whole account has. That is, if the Major level is set for all tickets, the actual average priority level of the helpdesk account becomes Normal. Contrariwise, if most of tickets are Minor, the average priority level for the account gets higher. In other words, the average priority level of the account defines how quick any requests are processed.

How to rate a ticket

Service provided by the X-Cart team within a certain ticket can be rated. For the purpose the ‘Rating’ option is available. Only a closed ticket work on which has been finished can be rated. Also, comments on the provider service can be left. The comments are addressed by heads of corresponding departments providing this or that service. This ensures that customers’ feedback is always taken into consideration and necessary measures are taken. This way service provision is improved as much as possible.

To rate a ticket

  • open ‘Communication Index’
  • find the needed ticket in the tickets list by its title or by a message ID using the search field
  • open ticket properties
  • use the ‘Rating’ drop-down menu and the ‘Comments’ text field to share your experience

To rate an already closed ticket

  • open ‘Communication Index’
  • untick ‘Hide closed and rated tickets’, closed tickets will appear in the tickets list
  • find the needed ticket in the list by its title
  • click link ‘Rate Us’ to the right form the ticket name
  • use the ‘Rating’ drop-down menu and the ‘Comments’ text field to share your experience.

Recommendations

Below is a guide to help things run smoother. By following these recommendations you will facilitate usage of your personal message board and save your time and money.

  • Do NOT post the same question to different tickets ("cross posting"). Do NOT start a new ticket when there is a discussion on the same topic going on in another ticket already.
  • Each separate issue is supposed to be posted to the Communication Center of your X-Cart Account into a separate ticket specially created for it. That is why please avoid posting several non-related to each other questions into one ticket to avoid possible miscommunication.
  • When posting a new ticket, make sure you give your problem a good description.

Simply putting something like 'help me please my site is down' will not speed up the answer and will not help us to help you. If you are so excited over the sudden trouble, which has come like a bolt from the blue, that can't think clearly and positively about your cart and our company in general, please, calm down first. Then try the best and make out as detailed explanation of the problem as possible. Eventually it may appear the issue is not that bad as it seemed. Furthermore there is no such a problem that couldn't be cracked at all. If we cannot fix the problem we will give you a solution at the least.

  • Specify your store version, software type, problem URL and access to your server. You can post server details to "Post access info" tab. It will help the support engineers a lot in troubleshooting. Otherwise, if your question requires technical investigation, problem–solving process will be delayed without server access.
  • There are several types of tickets:
    • "Tech support question" for requests to tech support dep;
    • "Project question"
    • Thank you for ordering installation services,
    • etc.

Use an appropriate ticket to discuss a certain topic. It helps keep continuity and prevents from superfluous gathering of tickets which may cause misunderstanding and even miscommunication even between our employees.

If you are not sure what department or person your request relates to, choose support department. Tech support team will examine it and forward to a relevant department or person.

  • All the notifications on messages posted in the communication center are sent to the email address you indicated upon registration. Please, keep it in mind while waiting for an answer and (what is more important) when you decide to change your contacts. You should notify us beforehand or you can change your contact email using 'Profiles' -> 'Edit self-profile' section of your X-Cart Account.

How to hide closed tickets from Communication Index

All tickets created in your account are displayed on tab ‘Communication Index’ in Communication Center. It may be convenient if only tickets requiring any action are displayed on this page. For the purpose check-box ‘Hide closed and rated tickets’ above the tickets list should be ticked. This check-box hides all closed and rated tickets from the list so that only Submitted, Assigned, In progress and Re-opened tickets are shown.

'Obsolete' and 'out of guarantee' X-Cart 4 Classic versions

When a support ticket is created and a license is set, the ’Product version’ drop-down menu appears. The version of the store, with which assistance is needed, should be selected from this drop-down menu. In the versions list certain versions are marked as ‘'Obsolete' and 'Out of guarantee'.

'Obsolete' is a software version which is not latest but still supported, i.e. new software versions within this branch are released and bug fixing patches are provided. ‘Obsolete’ is one of the versions (not the latest one) of the latest branch.

'Out of guarantee' is a non-supported software version, i.e. no bug fixing patches are provided, upgrade to the latest version is strongly recommended, and upgrade is the only solution in case a bug is found. 'Out of guarantee' is one of the versions (not the latest one ) of an earlier branch.

Any version, released more than 1 year ago is considered 'Out of guarantee'. Nevertheless, techsupport is always provided once requested regardless of a store version. Feel free to contact the X-Cart support team in HelpDesk.

Contact us

How can I let my represetative (e.g. webmaster) use the message board and the forum?

To authorise some representative of yours in the Qualiteam Account, you should create a secondary user account for this person connected to your account.

Go to the 'Manage accounts' section -> 'New account' tab. Fill in the profile with the person's contact info. His/her email adress will become his/her Qualiteam Account login.

By default, secondary user accounts are able to use the message board, to navigate through the FAQ section. But they do not have access to most of the sections ('Manage accounts', 'File area', 'Orders', 'Invoices', 'Buy products/services', 'My licenses', etc.). Thus secondary accounts are not permitted to manage serious business issues. All they can do is to hold correspondence via 'Communication center' and take part in forum threads.

How to change my license URL?

Why can't I see the software files in the "File area" section?

Please check which of the below reasons refer to your very case.

1) Your product license currently has the "Pending" status (can be checked in the 'My licenses' section). This means that your purchase hasn't yet been verified. As soon as the billing manager processes your order, the software will become accessible for you.

2) You are logged in a secondary user account (can be checked in the 'Manage accounts' section). This means you aren't allowed to access the software. Please ask the owner of primary Qualiteam Account to download the files.

3) Other cases are specific and you need to post a request to 'Communication center'. A responsible person will inform you on the exact reason of the software unavailability.

How to transfer the license?

If you would like to transfer your license, please follow the steps below:

1) go to the 'My licenses' section;

2) click the 'Transfer' link opposite the license you are going to transfer;

3) fill in the fields in the request form:

- URL to which the license is transferred;
- 'company information' (the company whom the license is transferred to);
- 'Account information' (the information on the person who will manage the license after it is transferred);
- number of tech support points being transferred along with the license;

4) click the 'Request license transfer' button and follow the procedure.

How should I settle my invoice?

Enter your Qualiteam Account and go to the 'Invoices' section. Find the neccessary invoice (look through the 'Description' field which explains what this invoice is set for). Click on 'Pay' opposite the necessary invoice. Follow the procedure carefully and you'll be finally redirected to the 2CO site where you are supposed to finish the transaction.

Why My file area is empty?

If you have just purchased the license, your order may not have been finalized properly. Contact us using 'Communication center' in your HelpDesk account.

If you are an existing customer, you should ensure that you did not transfer your license(s) to another company. Access to the software files is closed when no licenses are registered in an account.

Otherwise, please, contact our customer service the 'Communication center'. We will check your account.

How to change hosting plan?

If you would like to upgrade your hosting plan to a more advanced or a longer one please submit a sales ticket in your Qualiteam Account -> Communication Center, our sales team will assist you with the change.
