Findings overview · share of the $44,000 flagged

  • Wardrobing & bracketing

    $13,800

    Items worn once and returned as new; multi-size orders where almost nothing is kept.

  • Serial returners

    $12,400

    Customers refunding more than half of what they order, across 3+ orders.

  • “Item not received” disputes

    $9,800

    The carrier says delivered, the customer says no — 14 of 18 disputes had carrier evidence to review.

  • Double dips

    $4,900

    A return approved, then a bank dispute on the same order.

  • Other detected patterns

    $3,100

    Promo abuse, refund-method switches, fraud-ring activity.

…plus a dozen more patterns watched continuously. Most refunds are legitimate — a clean report is a valid result too.

How It Works

From Install to Protection, in Four Moments

Your first report arrives the same day you install — and you act on it free, before deciding to pay.

01

Install & Unlock Your History

One click from the Shopify App Store, plus a one-time order-history approval in Shopify that unlocks the full 12 months of data. Nothing to migrate, nothing to replace.

Minute 0
02

Your 12-Month Audit Is Ready

A full year of orders, returns, refunds, and disputes, scored: the total leak, the customers behind it, and the disputes you can still win. We email you the moment it's done.

Same day
03

Act on It During Your Trial

Contest winnable disputes, tag repeat abusers, and turn on pre-ship holds. You act on real findings from your own store before paying a cent.

Days 1–14, free
04

Every New Order Scored Before You Ship

80+ signals in real time, automatic holds on high-risk fulfillments, and risk context directly in Shopify Admin.

Day 15+

The audit is read-only: it never contacts customers, holds orders, or changes your data. Holds, tags, and blocks are opt-in actions you enable during the trial.

Where RefundSentry fits

Your checkout fraud tool stops at authorization. We start there.

Signifyd, Riskified, and Shopify Fraud Analysis decide one thing: should this order be approved at checkout? RefundSentry covers everything after that. Pre-ship behavior, return-window abuse, refund-method switches, and chargeback risk.
