Some support queries may require design / graphics work or complementary setup which may need a resource to account for. This can be achieved by requesting that certain responses require support credits. You set the amount of support credits for a task required and communicate this with the web user. Support credits can be purchased by the web user in their admin.
Tasks that you perform when resolving a support query will be logged so that both the customer and admin can see the work in progress relating to that particular support ticket. Support credits can be applied to each task for open transparency.
