Free historical audit → continuous pre-ship protection

Find customers who refund, dispute, and repeat. Stop the next risky order before it ships.

RefundSentry audits up to 12 months of available orders, returns, refunds and disputes to show where losses concentrate and which disputes are worth reviewing. Then it scores every new order before fulfillment, so risky shipments can be reviewed or held before you ship.

(1) Expected recovery weights the deduplicated open ceiling by observed outcomes. It is conditional on submitting evidence, not a guarantee.

(2) This setup report is frozen on Aug 5, 2026. Later activity belongs to live monitoring.

Continues in the full 10-section dossier. Sixteen fictional observations, the ranked action list, complete index, method and audit-to-live handoff follow.

(2) Fictional example store. A flagged amount is a recorded value connected to the named observation; its label and window explain what it measures. It is not automatically recoverable or a savings promise. A clean report is a valid result too.

Audit first, pay later

Install and unlock your history

One click from the Shopify App Store, plus a one-time order-history approval that unlocks up to 12 months of the history Shopify makes available. Without it, Shopify caps what we can read at 60 days. The exact depth is shown after install.

Privacy and compatibility

Safe To Install

Day one

For a young app, trust starts with clarity: what gets installed, what data stays out of scope, and how RefundSentry fits the tools you already run.

No raw personal data stored
Shopify customer IDs and SHA-256 hashes of email and phone, for matching across stores. No raw names, emails, addresses or payment data ever touch our database.
Privacy by design
Return behaviour analysis without building personal customer profiles. Minimal collection, aggregate statistics, erasure cascades through Shopify's redaction webhooks.
Real-time scoring, zero latency
Orders and returns are scored during webhook processing, after checkout. Zero impact on your storefront or checkout speed.
Works with your stack
An add-on to your existing returns workflow. Nothing to replace and nothing to migrate: Shopify Native, Loop, AfterShip and ReturnGO all stay where they are.
Day oneBuilt exclusively for ShopifyScoring as events arriveRisk labels written to Shopify tagsShopify billing, no external payments

Full detail on data handling lives in data security and GDPR.

Frequently asked questions

Questions, Answered

8 questions
Doesn't Shopify already include fraud analysis?
Yes, for payment risk at checkout: AVS and CVV results, IP details, payment attempts. RefundSentry covers what happens after checkout: repeat refunders, worn-once returns, bought-everything-kept-one orders, refund-method switches, fraud rings and return-linked chargeback risk.
How is the free audit different from the trial?
Same install. The audit is what you get first: up to 12 months of your available history of orders, returns, refunds and disputes, scored. We email you when it is ready. The 14-day trial is what you do with it. No charge until the trial ends.
Does it replace my returns app?
No. It is an add-on to your existing returns workflow, alongside Shopify Native returns, Loop, AfterShip or ReturnGO.
Do you store my customers' personal data?
No raw personal data. Shopify customer IDs and hashed identifiers only. No names, no raw email addresses, no phone numbers, no full street addresses. Erasure cascades automatically through Shopify's redaction webhooks.
Will it slow down my storefront?
No. Scoring runs asynchronously through Shopify webhooks, after checkout. Zero impact on storefront or checkout speed.
Does it help with chargebacks?
Yes. It predicts which orders are likely to end in a chargeback before you ship, and detects double dips where a customer both returns an item and disputes the same order with their bank.
How much does it cost?
Four monthly plans through Shopify billing, by rolling 30-day order volume: $49 up to 1,000, $99 up to 3,000, $199 up to 6,000, $299 up to 12,000. Crossing a limit adds no overage fee and never stops scoring. Above the top tier, contact us through Shopify for a private plan.
Is there a free trial, and can I cancel anytime?
Every plan includes a 14-day trial through Shopify. The audit covers up to 12 months of available history, and the exact figure is shown after install. Cancel or change plans in Shopify at any time.

Find what happened. Protect what ships next.

Start with a read-only audit of up to 12 months of available history, then keep scoring new orders before fulfillment.
