Request Partner Support

Before opening a support case, search for support resources available on the FPC Portal as they may address your issue. (No sign-in required).

 

Partner Support Case Categories

Quick to Market (QTM) | Voucher and Registration Program Terms and Eligibility 
 
Partner Support typically handles voucher redemption issues, missing or blocked vouchers due to technical or issuance gaps, Proof of Execution (POE) and Statement of Work (SOW) submission guidance and other general inquiries regarding QTM registration and voucher programs.  
 
Before opening a Partner Support case related to QTM programs: 

Important

  • Partners do not need to be Community Members or FastTrack Ready Partners (FRPs) to participate in QTM Programs. For more information on how to join specific QTM programs, visit Partner Onboarding: Getting Started with Quick to Market Programs.
  • Program memberships may also not appear since vouchers are tied directly to program agreements. If a partner has not yet accepted the agreement for the QTM program associated with their voucher type, they will not see their program membership on the voucher's redemption page.  
  • Similarly, if a partner’s contact is not associated with a QTM program membership within the FPC Portal, the program membership may not show up when they attempt to redeem a QTM voucher. 

Partner Onboarding 
 
Partner Support helps with issues such as program membership visibility, Payment Central profile setup, onboarding gaps that block voucher redemption, offboarding and reinstatement requests, eligibility and agreements for QTM and other programs, expired agreements, and general partner onboarding activities. 

 
Before opening a Partner Support case: 

Incentives Support 
 
Partner Support assists with your payment questions and disputes, verifying account details, validating roles such as Accounting Manager and Payee Contact to ensure accurate payment routing, providing detailed guidance on completing Payment Central setup—including tax and banking information—and resolving issues related to incentive claims and payment disputes. 

 
Before opening a Partner Support case: 

Portal and Access | Other General Issues | AI Business Solutions & Security Insights (formerly known as FastTrack Partner Center Experience (FPX)) 
 
Partner Support point partners to the right owner when the request isn’t handled by the Partner Support team (e.g., core Partner Center Support items) and provides links to the latest program communications/announcements so partners can self-serve. In addition, Partner Support provides partners with guidance on resolving common challenges related to: 

  • FPC Portal navigation, including sign-in invitation codes not working or expired
  • Partner contacts’ permissions and role updates 
  • General payment support inquiries 
  • General QTM registrations and voucher inquiries
  • General onboarding questions 
  • FastTrack API access and certification questions to coordinate partner access to UAT and production API endpoints tied to AI Business Solutions & Security Insights
  • AI Business Solutions & Security Insights issues, such as temporary data gaps, MCI performance, refresh delays, and more 
  • Escalation steps when blockers cannot be resolved through self-service or Tier 1 support
 Before opening a Partner Support case for a general inquiry: 
  • Here are some of the most frequently accessed Incentive & Payment Support articles on Learn and in the FPC Portal:

For the issues mentioned above or any other inquiries not covered in this article, please submit a support request through the Partner Support tool.
