Support / clear handoffs
Bring the order, the file, and the exact failure.
Academy support is designed around observable purchase and delivery state: Shopify owns the order and payment record; BIG Digital Downloads owns the entitlement and file delivery.
When access opens
What to include in a support request.
A complete first message reduces back-and-forth while protecting account and payment information.
- Keep the Shopify order number and the exact SKU from the receipt.
- Use the reply address in the Shopify or BIG Digital Downloads transactional email once commerce opens.
- Describe the device, browser, filename, and exact error without sending passwords or payment credentials.
- Do not share a private download link; each order is limited to five downloads per mapped file.
System boundaries
What support can diagnose.
Wrong tier, missing transactional email, exhausted allowance, damaged archive, and refund-linked access are distinct jobs with distinct provider evidence.
Shopify: product, variant, price, payment, order, and refund.
BIG Digital Downloads: mapped file, entitlement, resend, download count, and revocation.
