Contact Us

From here it is important that you reach out to our team through your Merchant Portal to let us know that we can complete the mapping of your warrantable products. This process will take 1-2 days.

When requesting this, please send us links to 3-5 products and the corresponding SKUs for us to map to plans. These products will be useful during integration and testing. We highly recommend sending us products that are representative of the different categories and types of products on your site. If applicable to your site, please include a product with multiple variants to ensure your integration takes that into account.

It is worth noting that until the products have been mapped to warranties the offers will not render on pages so this is a reasonable time to pause the integration while our team works on your mapping request.
