Connect CNFANS to your payment gateways (e.g., PayPal, Stripe) using API integrations. This allows automatic import of refund details directly into your spreadsheet.
Step 3: Automate Data Entry with Scripts
Use simple automation scripts (e.g., Google Apps Script or CNFANS-built tools) to:
- Auto-populate refund IDs and issue dates.
- Attach resolution proofs (e.g., screenshots, emails) to corresponding entries.
Step 4: Enable Notifications and Alerts
Configure CNFANS to send alerts for pending refunds or missing proofs, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
Step 5: Generate Dispute-Ready Reports
Use CNFANS’ reporting features to compile refund histories, complete with proofs and dates, for seamless dispute management.
Pro Tips for Effective Refund Tracking
- Regularly audit your automated logs to ensure accuracy.

- Train your team to handle exceptions that automation might miss.
