Refund policy & simulator

A refund policy followed to the letter.

Define your rules once, as clear steps. Every request follows them in order, and each decision records its version.

Every decision is tied to the policy that made it.

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find your question?

See every question merchants ask, or ask us when you request access.

All questionsRequest early access
01Can a team member go beyond the policy?

Yes, with the override permission and a fresh two-factor code, on the record. Emergency stops, the refundable amount and frequency limits never yield.

02What if a payment is in another currency?

Set limits per currency. Without one, Chargeless uses the settlement amount your provider recorded, or hands off. It never converts at its own rate.

03Do I need to write code?

No. Steps, presets and the rules builder cover most policies. Advanced users can also edit the policy document as JSON.

Start with low limits. Raise them when the record shows it works.

Start in test mode, run your policy against your own history, and go live when the results meet your standards.
