Cents Automated Laundromat Refund Exception Flags

Every morning, WebRun opens Cents, reads all refunds and store credits issued the prior day, checks each against your approval threshold and required reason codes, logs every exception to a Google Sheet, and alerts your manager in Slack so no unusual refund goes unreviewed.

In short

How do I automatically flag and log laundromat refund exceptions?

Every morning, WebRun reads all refunds and store credits issued the prior day in Cents, flags those above your threshold or missing a reason code, logs every exception to a Google Sheet, and alerts your manager in Slack. Unauthorized or unusual refunds surface in minutes, not at the end-of-month audit.

  • Unusual refunds are flagged the morning after they occur, not at month-end
  • A full refund audit trail builds automatically in Google Sheets
  • Managers spend minutes reviewing flagged items instead of manually auditing POS logs

Questions, answered

What threshold triggers a flag?

You set the threshold amount during setup. Any single refund above that amount, or any refund with no reason code, is flagged regardless of amount.

Will it reverse or cancel the refund automatically?

No. WebRun logs and flags exceptions for manager review only. Reversing a refund or taking action on an employee remains a human decision.

Can it track refund trends over time?

Yes. The Google Sheet log builds a running history of refunds by employee and date, so managers can spot patterns over weeks or months.
