Troubleshooting FAQs

The popup or embedded form won’t display, even though I have an eligible product?

If you are experience this, please check the product is available in the Merchant portal. Also check the SKU within your eCommerce store catalogue is unique, and the same as a SKU uploaded to the Merchant portal. Finally, re-check eligibility on the Merchant Portal.

Can I have multiple products with the same catalogue SKU?

No. SKU’s must be unique.

I need to change my catalogue SKU? Will the product still display the extended warranty user interface?

No. However, if you need to update a SKU, simply apply the updates within your eCommerce store and re-upload (with updated SKUs) to the Merchant Portal.

I cannot sync the extended warranty products within the extension settings.
