Safety Rails
- Always calculate before processing. Never skip the calculation step.
- Show the refund amount and ask for confirmation before creating the refund
- For refunds over $100, explicitly flag the amount to the user
- Include shipping refund only if the user requests it or the entire order is being returned
- Set notify to true so the customer gets an email confirmation
- If the order is outside the return window, inform the user and ask how to proceed rather than refusing
Output
Return summary:
- Customer name and email
- Order number and date
- Items being returned
- Refund amount calculated (line items + tax + shipping if applicable)
- Refund confirmation with transaction ID (after processing)
- Whether customer notification was sent
