zDirect 

You can submit support requests directly via zDirect, especially for:

  • Market Expansion queries

  • ZMS Ad Manager issues.

Good to know

Certain issues need dedicated attention and/or different handling.  To ensure efficient resolution, please open a separate case for each issue type.  For example, if you have an issue with article status codes like ACSREJ and JETERR, submit a separate request for each code.  This helps Partner Care handle your issues more effectively.

Managing your support requests

On the My Requests page, you can submit a new request and view open and closed requests. 

Go to Support > My requests in ZPU to see all open and closed requests. You can also create new requests from this page.

Good to know

You’ll receive an update from PaCa within the next business day at the latest.

Escalating a case

If you need urgent action, you can escalate a case from ZPU:

  1. Go to My support requests in ZPU.

  2. Click the Escalate button on the case.

Important

You can only escalate cases after 3 business days from the opening date. PaCa may de-escalate a case if the reason is unjustified or a final decision has been made.

Cancelling a case

You can cancel a request at any time if you no longer need it.  This immediately closes the case without follow-up.

Confirming a resolution

After your case is resolved, you'll receive an email asking to confirm or decline:

  • Click YES to confirm

    • The case closes, and you'll receive a satisfaction survey.

    • Note: You won't be able to reopen a case you have confirmed closed.

  • Click NO to decline

    • You'll be asked to provide a reason.

    • The case stays open and PaCa will follow up.

  • No response within 72 business hours?

    • The case will close automatically.

Good to know

If you reply to a closed case, this automatically opens a new support request.

Key takeaways

  • Always follow the ‘1 case = 1 request’ rule for efficient handling.

  • You’ll receive a response within one business day.

  • Use the My requests page to track all open and closed requests.

  • Confirm or decline resolutions via the follow-up email. Your feedback helps us improve our service.
