Talk to us
Give customers a simple way to submit contract withdrawal declarations, while your team reviews every request from one secure workspace.
Monitor every declaration from one secure workspace.
From the first customer declaration to the final merchant decision, every step stays organised and visible.
Add a withdrawal link to your Shopify theme and let customers securely find an order, choose full or partial withdrawal, review their declaration, and receive a timestamped reference.
Order number, email, and optional postal-code checks help reduce accidental access to customer order details.
Filter incoming requests, record internal notes, and move each declaration through a transparent review lifecycle.
Every submission, acknowledgement, staff status change, and timestamp is recorded in an append-only timeline—with the responsible actor clearly identified.
The storefront portal verifies the order and records the customer’s declaration.
A timestamped reference confirms receipt without promising approval or an automatic refund.
Your team checks eligibility signals, products, dates, notes, and supporting context.
The status and responsible staff member are added to the audit trail for future reference.
