How RefundSentry works
RefundSentry · Audit to live protectionScroll to drive the system ↓
01 · ReadYour history opens.
A read-only audit covers up to 12 months of the orders, returns, refunds and disputes Shopify makes available.
02 · PrioritizeYour history becomes a ranked file.
What the audit finds is grouped into Recover Now, Worth Reviewing, Watch and Context, with available evidence and caveats attached.
03 · ContinueThe audit hands off to live protection.
Historical findings stay frozen while new orders receive risk context before fulfillment. Holds stay off until you enable them.
04 · EventOne order arrives.
Scoring begins after checkout, outside the storefront path.
05 · ConnectIts history converges.
Orders, returns, refunds and disputes move into one connected case.
06 · RevealPatterns emerge.
Repeated returns, refund changes and a dispute now share one timeline.
07 · ExplainRisk becomes explainable.
Score, confidence and reasons assemble separately.
08 · DecideYou keep the switch.
Enabled policies create review time before fulfillment. Never auto-cancel.
09 · AuditEvery action stays attached.
Received, scored, held, reviewed and resolved on one traceable timeline.
10 · LearnEvery outcome sharpens the next decision.
Confirmed outcomes enrich future context without rewriting the original evidence.

01 · RecordThe order leaves an evidence trail.
Available payment facts, fulfillment, delivery and merchant decisions stay attached to the order.
02 · AssembleWhen a dispute opens, the proof is already there.
RefundSentry pre-fills the available facts, dispute reason and evidence deadline into one reviewable pack.
03 · RespondYou review. You submit.
Download the pack, verify it, then submit it in Shopify. RefundSentry never sends it to the bank for you.
