Creating Warranty Claims in the Corso Admin
Overview
Section titled “Overview”The Corso Admin allows you to create warranty claims directly, without requiring customers to file through the portal. This is especially useful when you are already in communication with a customer and know the details of their issue. By creating claims directly, you save time for both your team and the customer, while keeping everything tracked within Corso.
What You Can Expect
Section titled “What You Can Expect”With direct claim creation in the Corso Admin, you can:
- Quickly file a warranty claim without using the customer portal
- Save customers from extra steps and provide a smoother experience
- Update customer and shipping information on the spot
- Keep claim creation transparent in the timeline for full visibility
- Manage resolutions (refunds, replacements, repairs) directly after creating the claim
Key Features and Functionality

Section titled “Looking Up Orders”There are two main ways to locate the customer order before creating a claim:
- Order Lookup on the Warranties Page: Enter the customer’s email or order number.
- Quick Search (Preferred Method): Use the global search bar at the top of any page. Enter the order number to quickly pull up the customer’s order for verification.
