Starter wording

Hi there - thanks for checking on your refund. Once a refund is approved and processed on our side, it may still take additional time to appear with the original payment provider or bank. We cannot see or control every provider posting step, but we can confirm the store-side status and share the clearest next step available under our policy. Please send your order number if you want us to review the current status. Do not send full card numbers or sensitive payment details.

Before you use it

  • Confirm whether the refund is approved, pending review, processed, partial, store credit, or gift card based.
  • Do not promise a bank posting date or provider outcome unless your current policy and system support it.
  • Ask for order number and refund status details, not full card numbers or sensitive payment data.
  • Keep refund timing wording separate from final eligibility decisions where applicable.
