Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRefund Guard shows merchants non-refundable payment fees before cash refunds, including BNPL providers like Klarna and Afterpay where merchant fees are often not returned. An order-page block warns staff with estimates for Shopify Payments, cards, and PayPal too. Track fee loss in the dashboard, set thresholds and custom rates, and use the refund simulator. Pro adds analytics, CSV export, and email alerts.
Partial returns on discounted orders often over-refund because discount allocations are not applied correctly. RefundMath calculates the exact refund from those allocations for selected items and quantities, including tax credit. Paste an order ID or URL, select return items, copy the correct amount, then finish the refund in Shopify. Example: $500 order with a $50 discount.
