Maintain Your Theme Support

This article covers how to provide effective support for your Zid theme users, including required channels and best practices.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Providing timely and reliable support is crucial to ensuring a positive experience for merchants using your theme. Zid does not offer direct merchant support for third-party themes, and this responsibility rests entirely with you as the theme partner.

Support Requirements

  1. Active Maintainer Email:
    You must provide a valid and monitored email address for the maintainer in your Partner Dashboard. This is the primary channel merchants will use to contact you for support.

  • Support Channels:
    You can offer one or more of the following support options:

    • Email (required)

    • Ticket portal or support website (optional)

    • Phone number (required only for shipping-related themes)

💡 These contact details should be set under your theme’s General Data tab or clearly described in the theme’s listing description.

How Merchants Request Support

  • Merchants submit support requests by navigating to the Zid Dashboard → Report Theme section.

  • Zid reviews these submissions and forwards valid tickets to you.

  • You are expected to respond promptly and resolve issues within the agreed-upon Service Level Agreement (SLA) timelines.

Best Practices for Support

  • Respond Quickly: Timely replies build trust and satisfaction.

  • Patch Bugs Promptly: Ensure your theme remains stable and functional.

  • Keep Documentation Updated: Accurate guides reduce support requests.

  • Aim for 5-Star Reviews: Excellent support drives positive merchant feedback and higher adoption.

Providing exceptional support not only helps merchants but also enhances your reputation as a trusted Zid partner, increasing your theme’s success on the platform.
