Customer Refund Request
Refunds are a moment of truth for customer trust. Handled inconsistently, they create disputes, chargebacks, and frustrated buyers. This customer refund SOP gives support teams a clear, fair, and fast path from the moment a request arrives to the moment the ticket is resolved.
The workflow verifies the order and eligibility first, then routes in-policy requests straight to processing while escalating exceptions to a Support Lead for approval — so agents are never guessing and edge cases still get a human decision. Every refund is recorded and the customer is notified before the ticket closes.
Built for retail and e-commerce teams, this template is ready to import into Essoflo where you can adapt the policy thresholds, plug in your own helpdesk and payment tools, and assign it to your support team.
