<aside> 💡 This article will cover the guideline for assessing a merchant’s payment request and ensuring it is both properly documented and routed through the appropriate channels. This SOP sets a precedence to ensure that all payments requests get to the correct department with consistency, accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.

This SOP applies to all CX teams that may receive a request from a merchant for assistance with payments-specific processes

Payments Retention

This section covers the types of merchant requests that should be routed to the Payments Retention team.

Slack: #quilt-payments-retention

Email: SBU - [email protected] XBU - analysis@BRAND.com (ex: [email protected], [email protected], etc.)

<aside> 🚨

Payments Retention primarily receives requests through the creation of a Payments Retention case in SalesForce. Exceptions can be made to live transfer to their phone line in urgent situations. However, the expectation is to submit a case to their queue and let the merchant know that the Payments Retention team will reach out to them.

Live Transfers to the Payments Retention call queue will only be accepted after a ping has been sent to the slack channel to verify someone is available to take the call!

If someone has confirmed they are available, you may then use one of the following queue numbers:

XBU: +1 (775) 442-7996 SBU: +1 (775) 587-4435
