Ensuring Complete Accountability in Customer Disputes
Effective refund management is crucial for maintaining trust and operational clarity on platforms like GTBuy. A systematic approach to tracking not only resolves issues faster but also provides a clear audit trail. This guide outlines the three pillars of accountability: Case Numbers, Communication Logs, and Resolution Dates.
Every refund request must be identified by a unique case number provided by GTBuy or your payment processor.
Every interaction with customer support or the buyer must be documented. This log is your narrative of the event.
The final pillar closes the loop, providing clarity on the case's conclusion and financial impact.
Below is a simplified example of how to structure your core tracking log:
| GTBuy Case # | Date Opened | Communication Log Summary | Last Support Reply (Date) | Resolution Date & Outcome |
