FAQ Generation

The following FAQs are organized by category, allowing end-users to independently address common issues. Each FAQ entry distills complex issues into accessible, step-by-step solutions, effectively promoting self-service.

1. Integration and Configuration Issues

Q1: Why is my third-party payment gateway integration failing due to an API error?

  • A: Common causes include incorrect API keys or permissions settings. To resolve, try the following steps:

    1. Re-generate your security token in the API management page.

    2. Enable required permissions for all relevant endpoints.

    3. Confirm the correct API endpoint configuration with your payment gateway provider.

Q2: Why does my invoice generation fail intermittently?

  • A: This can be due to network instability or data sync issues. To troubleshoot:

    1. Clear your browser cache.

    2. Verify data sync logs are up-to-date.

    3. If the issue persists, adjust system timeout settings or consult your IT team.


2. Access and Security

Q3: How can I grant CRM access to a new user role?

  • A: Ensure the user role has the correct permissions. In cases where specific access is needed:

    1. Submit an exception request to the IT security team.

    2. Ensure firewall rules are adjusted, if applicable.

    3. Update the CRM permissions matrix for any new roles.

Q4: I’m unable to configure two-factor authentication (2FA). What are my options?

  • A: For devices not supporting app-based 2FA, switch to SMS-based 2FA:

    1. Go to security settings and select SMS-based 2FA.

    2. Confirm your phone number and follow the setup steps.


3. Data Management and Export

Q5: My data export fails for large datasets. How can I complete the export?
