Already have a Lark account yet?

Attention: lease make sure that your Lark account is either a personal use account or a business use account with primary administrator, as only these two types can be bound successfully. Otherwise, the binding will fail. You can refer to the screenshots below to confirm your account type.Tips: Primary administrators have all the permissions in the Lark Admin Console and can add or remove other primary administrators (except the founder). If your Lark account is either a personal use account or a business use account with primary administrator, we recommend you:
  • Solution 1: Sign-up for a new personal use Lark account. (Recommended)
  • Solution 2: Ask primary administrator or founder to add your account as primary administrator.

  1. Query Method
In the Seller Community, you can @Tikomate in the chat box and it will respond to your questions; there are also Community Managers in the group who offer support. You can refer to the following tips and examples of asking questions.
Attention:Please do not share any personal sensitive information (for example, your driver’s license) publicly in the seller community to avoid information leakage. Such information should only be provided after adding an official manager or in your official small private groups.
MethodExampleTips
Ask by Text
image
Try to include as much of the following as possible in your question: country (US) + shop code + product ID / violation ticket ID / channel ID (optional) + background of the issue + the specific problem + information or support you need. //The more detailed your description is, the better.
Route to Community Manager
image
Provide sufficient information(eg:shopcode) to Tikomate, if your issue remains unsolved, Tikomate will directly route to a community manager for assistance.
  1. Query Suggestion
  • We recommend @Tikomate when you ask a question so you can get faster responses.
  • Tikomate may not always give an ideal answer in a single reply, so please ask for multiple rounds of Q&A to solve problem.
  • For the most accurate response, it's best to ask one specific question about one shop or one product at a time.
