Printful Automated Refund Exception Flagging
Every morning, WebRun opens Printful to review new return and refund requests, cross-checks each against Stripe payment records, flags exceptions such as duplicate claims, high-value requests, or out-of-policy orders, and posts the flagged list to Slack. No refund is issued without a human decision.
How do I automatically flag suspicious or unusual refund requests on my print-on-demand store?
WebRun reviews every new Printful refund request each morning, cross-checks each against Stripe payment records, and flags exceptions including duplicates, out-of-policy orders, high-value claims, and existing chargebacks. A prioritized Slack list gives your team the full picture before any refund is authorized or money moves.
- High-value and duplicate refund claims are caught before any money moves
- Your team reviews a ranked exception list rather than a raw queue
- Chargeback conflicts are surfaced automatically from Stripe cross-checks

Questions, answered
Will it issue refunds automatically?
No. WebRun only flags and lists requests. Every refund decision and any money movement is made by a human on your team after reviewing the flagged list.
How does it identify a duplicate refund claim?
It checks the Stripe payment history for the customer email and flags anyone who submitted a refund request in the past 90 days, giving your team the context to investigate.
What counts as a high-value refund?
You set the threshold at setup. Any request above that amount is automatically moved to the top of the flagged list in Slack so it gets reviewed first.
