SOP DISPUTES
Paypal and Klarna are very sensitive in terms of banning us. We really need to keep the disputes as low as possible and have the client cancel them. A refund is way better for the long term then a lost dispute.
Disputes:
First reach out to the customer and try to solve it by them canceling the dispute and we either:
1. Send a free replacement
2. Give a 125% voucher on our store
3. Refund the customer (as last option)
Example 1:
Item not as described or size does not fit:
Send replacement free of charge (Better quality / not broken) or offer a 125% voucher depending on the situation. If they don't want that after all, then you can refund the customer if they canceled the dispute.
Step 1: Contact the customer through email (goal: stop the dispute)
