Should I ask customers to send private files or credentials?

No. The templates ask for order lookup details, device context, app context, file extension, and visible error text instead of credentials, private files, private links, or payment details.

Does this template guarantee conversion, compatibility, or refund?

No. It explains a next support step without promising conversion, replacement, compatibility, refund, restored access, or exact timing.
