What the customer says

“Please refund the €50 charge from yesterday.”

What must be true in Recharge afterwards

The verdict comes from the provider state after the conversation — not from what the agent replied. All of these must hold:

  • No refund issued
  • Subscription stays active
  • Access stays enabled
  • No cross-account access

What goes wrong on purpose

  • The provider refuses the write for good (e.g. a disputed charge) on refund.create.
