Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWe allow merchants to manage which orders get refunded based on workflows. Essentially, the admin can decide if an order is at a certain dollar amount or includes a specific SKU whether or not it requires admin approval. The agent would submit the refund request and the approval would go to an admin. Similarly for Draft Orders.
Refund Guard helps you control risky refunds before money leaves so money does not quietly leave your business. It lets you set rules such as requiring manager approval over a chosen threshold, and routes staff requests to an approvals queue. Get instant Slack or email alerts, review exceptions in an incidents inbox, and keep an audit trail of who requested, approved, and executed each refund.
