Managing refunds and disputes is an inevitable part of selling on any platform, including VigorBuy. While often viewed negatively, a well-handled case can actually build customer trust and loyalty. The key to success lies in organization, clarity, and speed. This guide outlines a simple, powerful system to turn potential problems into opportunities for positive engagement.
