Our approach to product feedback

At Zentail, we take product feedback to heart. Listening to our customers, team members, and prospects is the only way we can create a valuable product as we strive to make ecommerce simple. Zentail uses your feedback to better understand pain points in the industry and our product, learn new ideas, and craft useful features.

The benefits of providing product feedback

If you take the time to submit your feedback, it means you have a say in how our product develops over time! We want to hear your thoughts, from changing where a button is located on a page to adding a whole new suite of functionality. No idea is too small or too large for us to consider.

Ultimately, your feedback allows us to work with you to build the best product we possibly can.

How to give us your product feedback

To fill out a feedback form, please follow the button below:

Provide Feedback

This will take you to our Ideas portal where you can submit your idea and vote on ideas other users have submitted.

So that we can accurately scope out and prioritize your feedback, please try to include as much as possible detail as to:

What problem you're trying to solve
How valuable solving this problem would be for you

What happens to your product feedback

We read it! The Zentail product team reviews all feedback as it comes in (we're alerted as soon as you submit the feedback!). While we deploy product changes and improvements to Zentail every two weeks, we're having a constant conversation about our road map. This feedback is used to reevaluate our road map and what's planned for the upcoming months.

By submitting, voting on, or subscribing to ideas, you can be automatically notified of any updates to this idea. It also let's us know you're interested in that idea so may contact you with additional questions :) You can also view our What's New on Zentail articles to learn about our most recent and noteworthy releases.

If you reach out directly to our support or customer success teams, they'll be able to look up the ideas for you, but they won't have any additional information or be able to provide an estimate for when your idea will be reviewed.

Adding a New Idea

On our Ideas Portal, click the Submit Idea button. From here fill out the Title and Your Thoughts sections and then click Submit Idea again to share your idea!

Title: A concise, one sentence name for your idea.
Example: Drag and Drop file upload
Your Thoughts: A description of your idea and the problem or pain point you hope to solve. You can attach files if that will help us understand the problem or the proposed idea.
Example: The ability to drag a saved csv from my computer and drop it into Zentail when importing data. It takes me a while to remember what my file is named or where it's saved, so just dragging it in would be easier and save me time.
