# How to Handle Claims From Retailers

As a supplier, you will receive an email notification when a retailer submits a new claim to you via Claimlane.

Each claim is submitted through a supplier-specific form configured to capture the data you require. This typically includes product details, images documenting the fault, and a description of the issue.

If you would like to modify the fields in your claim form, please contact <support@claimlane.com>. Our support team will assist you with the configuration.

### Step 4: Handle credits as usual <a href="#h_8ef00a0d2d" id="h_8ef00a0d2d"></a>

If you have accepted the claim with a credit, this is handled outside of Claimlane. Follow your normal procedure for this.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://claimlane-docs.gitbook.io/claimlane-docs/troubleshooting-and-faqs/how-to-handle-claims-from-retailers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
