Response example

Subject: How the digital product refund policy works Digital product refunds are reviewed differently from physical-product returns because files can be accessed immediately. Eligibility may depend on whether files were accessed, whether the product was delivered as described, and whether there is a technical or fulfillment issue. If you believe the product was broken or not as described, send your order number and screenshots so support can review it.

Before sending

Match the response to your published refund policy.

Do not promise approval, denial, processing time, or exceptions before review.

Ask for order number, access details, screenshots, or file names when needed.

Keep the message calm and avoid blaming the buyer.
