How Prepaid Support Works

Check our Service Policy before buying

You pay only for the time actually spend on resolving your problem. Our support engineers log their time per minute for handling tickets you submit. Support minutes are deducted according to these logs when the problem is solved and support ticket is closed. You will be informed about amount of minutes deducted and left available. You can visit your Members Area to check the amount of available Support minutes any time.

Subscription for Joomla! Support Service Packages is valid for 1 year starting on the purchase date of the latest Support Package. You will be alerted by email 2 days before your subscription expires. Unused minutes are gone when the subscription expires. You can prolong your subscription and add the support minutes to those left on your account by buying another Package before the expiration date.

For example, if you have 20 support minutes left on your account, after buying a package of 3 support hours (180 support minutes) you will have 200 support minutes in total.

Need custom development?

It frequently happens that customer needs custom development service as an essential part of support.

What happens when you prepaid for support (where Joomla! administrator, web master works) and it turns out that you need custom development (where Joomla! developer is needed)? Once that happens you can use your prepaid support hours for custom development taking in mind that 1 development hour = 1.5 support hours. That’s it.
