    Refund and Credit Memo Sync

    Synchronize refunds, returns, and credit memos between your storefront, payment processor, and ERP.

    The problem

    Why this workflow needs automation

    Refunds processed on the storefront or payment processor don't automatically create credit memos in the ERP. Finance teams manually reconcile refunds, leading to inaccurate financial statements, delayed close, and inventory discrepancies when returned items aren't restocked.
