See every featureRefund 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.
Webhook Guard gives merchants clear visibility into Shopify webhook activity. It detects failed, delayed, duplicate, and invalid events before they cause missed orders, incorrect inventory, or broken integrations. Merchants can quickly identify issues, troubleshoot with detailed event data, reduce manual investigation, and keep connected systems reliable and synchronized.
- Approve refunds over a threshold (request → approve → execute)
- Incidents inbox for refunds that violate your policy
- Instant Slack/email alerts with staff + order context
- Audit log: requester, approver, timestamps, notes
- Automatic retries to prevent temporary outages from causing lost webhook events.
- Monitor webhook status, success rates, payloads, responses, and history.
- Forward webhook events to multiple endpoints with topic-based subscriptions.
- Detect duplicate events and invalid signatures for easier troubleshooting.
