AI Refund Automation

Refunds, drafted. Never sent without you.

AI refund automation for Shopify stores, with your approval required before any refund is issued.

tResolv checks a refund request against the order and your return policy, drafts the response, and stages the Shopify refund for your one-tap approval, every time.

Short answer

How does AI refund automation work in tResolv?

When a customer asks for a refund, tResolv matches the email to the Shopify order, checks its refund status and your return policy, drafts the reply, and stages the refund for your one-tap approval. The refund does not execute in Shopify until you approve it, regardless of confidence level.

tResolv also checks whether the order was already refunded, so it does not stage a duplicate.

The problem

Refunds are the request brands trust AI with least.

Refund requests need real judgment: is the order eligible, is it within the return window, has it already been refunded. Getting it wrong costs money or damages trust.

That is exactly why most brands won't let AI touch refunds at all, even though the reply itself (checking eligibility, explaining the process) is repetitive work.

The solution

AI drafts it. You approve it.

tResolv checks the order against your return policy and current refund status, then drafts a reply and stages the refund in Shopify, but the refund itself does not execute until you tap approve.

This is a deliberate design choice, not a limitation: the repetitive part (checking eligibility, writing the response) is automated, and the part with real financial consequence stays with you.

  • ✓Never executes automatically: every refund waits for your one-tap approval, regardless of confidence score.
  • ✓Checked against your policy: checks the order and available store information before preparing a refund for review.
  • ✓No duplicate refunds: checks whether the order was already refunded before staging anything.
