Support and disputes
Support
Support holds cases between your store and SPKTRM.
Required role: store owner or branch manager.
Open a case
- Press Open a case — or start from the screen where the problem happened: Report this scan at the till, Report a problem on a scanner, or a transaction, invoice or investigation. Details from that screen are filled in; correct them or Leave out any of them.
- Enter a Subject, choose what it is About and its Priority, and describe What happened.
- Attach up to 5 files — images, PDF or text, up to 10 MB each.
- Press Open case.
Follow a case
Each case shows who it is Waiting on, who is handling it, its First response target in Kuwait time, attachments and full history. The target is a service target, not a contractual commitment.
- Reply — line breaks are kept.
- Mark resolved — say what fixed it. Only an owner or branch manager can resolve a case.
- Reopen — within 14 days of resolving; the case goes back to SPKTRM with a new first-response target. After that, open a new case and mention the old one.
- Escalate — raises the priority one step and brings the deadline forward. A case can be escalated once.
No help desk is connected. Cases sit in a demo support queue, attachments are kept only as names, sizes and small previews in this browser, and Add SPKTRM reply (demo) acts out SPKTRM's side.
Disputes
A dispute is the recovery path when a redemption goes wrong — for example a product was returned, the wrong voucher was redeemed, or the discount was keyed wrong.
Required role: store owner and branch managers can open disputes, add evidence and notes. The store owner decides redemption disputes. Invoice disputes are decided by SPKTRM.
Open a dispute
- Open the transaction in Redeemed rewards and press Dispute this redemption. Only a confirmed redemption can be disputed; resolve any exception first.
- Check the Transaction snapshot: voucher, redeeming branch, SPX spent, customer (masked) and time. The snapshot never changes.
- Give the reason and press Open dispute.
- Use Add evidence and Add an internal note as needed.
Decide a dispute
- Press Start review.
- Choose Uphold or Decline, and write the reason shown on the record.
- When upholding, choose the Correction — for example Reverse the discount and refund the SPX.
Result: an upheld redemption dispute produces exactly one correction, even after an appeal. The original transaction is never edited; the correction reports against it. Declined, withdrawn and still-open disputes change nothing.
A decision can be appealed once with Appeal the decision. A dispute can be withdrawn while it is open.
