Support model

The measure of a payment partner is the day something goes wrong

Government Window's in-house customer service is second to none, which is a big reason we continue to grow. Our team supports your residents and your staff — included, at no cost, for as long as you're a customer.

Principles

Six things that define how support works here

  • In-house, not outsourced

    Support is delivered by Government Window's own team. The person who answers has access to the platform, the configuration and the people who built it.

  • We talk to your residents

    Payment questions from the public route to us, not back to your counter. That is the mechanism behind the reduction in call volume agencies report.

  • Multilingual

    English and Spanish support, and a bilingual IVR line running the same business rules as your web portal.

  • Resolution over ticket closure

    Government Window prides itself on resolving issues quickly and staying in contact with your staff throughout the process — customers commonly report issues handled within hours.

  • Self-service where it helps

    Online help is available 24/7/365 through your payment dashboard, and residents can look up their own payment history rather than calling anyone.

  • Themes feed the roadmap

    Recurring support topics are reported back to product and customer success. What agencies ask about repeatedly becomes a configuration option or a documentation fix.

Routing

Who should contact whom

Support routing for residents versus agency customers, so nobody bounces between offices.

Residents & payers

Payment questions, receipts, failed payments

Contact Government Window support directly — no need to call the agency. We can confirm a payment, resend a receipt, explain a fee and help resolve a failed transaction.

Questions about the amount owed, a court date or a case status must be answered by the agency — we can tell you who to call.

Agency staff

Configuration, reporting, refunds, new departments

Your dashboard has 24/7 online help, and our team handles configuration changes, reporting questions, new fee types and additional departments as part of the relationship.

Existing customers: your customer success manager is your escalation path for anything time-sensitive.

Voice of the customer

Response time is what customers actually remember

All testimonials
After months of deliberating about switching to Government Window, I am glad we made the move. Once we decided to go with them, it was a smooth and quick transition. Any issues that have come up since the move, the customer service staff have been responsive and usually the issue is handled within hours. I just wish we had gone with Government Window sooner.
