The problem it solves

Refunds can quietly eat into your margins, and if a large one goes through you may not find out until you're reviewing numbers weeks later. You want to know right away when a significant refund happens, not after the fact.

Who it fits

Ecommerce store owners or finance teams who need visibility into refund activity.

How it works

  1. A WooCommerce order status changes to refunded
  2. The system checks whether the refund amount is over the threshold
  3. If it is, a message is posted to the chosen Slack channel
What you get

Large refunds flagged the moment they happen

You get an immediate Slack alert whenever a refund crosses your chosen threshold, so nothing slips by unnoticed.

What you get

A Slack notification flagging large refunds as they happen.

What you need

A WooCommerce store and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
