📖 Overview

What is this automation?

Manual refund processing is slow, inconsistent, and frustrating for customers. This automation validates refund eligibility against your policy and either auto-approves or routes for manual review.

⚠️

The Problem

Your support team spends hours manually processing refund requests, checking order dates, conditions, and policies. Customers wait days for a response.
