Proof for refund claims and return abuse

Record every box, then have the buyer film what they send back. Decide refunds on evidence, not trust.

What changes for your returns

Decide refunds with both ends of the journey in view

Worn, swapped or empty01

See what is coming back before you refund

The buyer films the item and packaging before sealing the return, so wardrobing, a different item or an empty box shows up before the money goes back.

Your side on record02

What left your bench is never in doubt

Every order carries a fingerprinted packing video with its time and the team member who recorded it.

Ready for a dispute03

One file if the return becomes a chargeback

Packing video, return recording and your decision sit in one evidence file you can download as a PDF.

02 — The record

How one recording is made, start to finish

Nothing here is a mock-up: every screen is the app as it ships, and every frame is the same bench, in order.

  1. The order list in the app: orders pulled from the store, the ones awaiting a recording marked, and a Scan barcode button.
    01

    The order arrives on its own

    Orders come in from Shopify or WooCommerce and land in the list, with the ones still waiting for a recording marked. Nobody retypes an order number at the bench.

  2. The same list with the Scan barcode action at the bottom of the screen.
    02

    Scan the picking slip, or tap the order

    The barcode on the slip opens the right order directly. That is the moment the recording is bound to an order — before anything is filmed, not after.

  3. The packer holds the item up to a phone mounted on a stand at the bench.
    The recording screen four seconds in.
    030:04

    Show the garment, tags attached to the camera

    The take opens on the item itself: what it is, what condition it is in, that it is the right one. The phone is already in the room; there is no camera to mount.

  4. The shipping label is peeled from its backing in front of the mounted phone.
    The recording screen eighteen seconds in.
    040:18

    The shipping label binds the order to the parcel

    The label goes on camera before it goes on the box. From this frame on the parcel is not any parcel — it is this order, and that link is what a dispute turns on.

  5. The item is lowered into a padded carton while the phone records.
    The recording screen forty-one seconds in.
    050:41

    Everything that goes in, goes in on camera

    Padding, placement, the inner box closing — all inside the same unbroken take. A cut is a place a reviewer can imagine something happening off camera.

  6. The sealed, labelled carton on the bench; the phone shows a frozen frame with a green tick.
    The preview screen with Confirm and upload.
    061:07

    Stop, check, upload

    The take ends when the parcel does. One look at what was captured, one tap, and the file is uploading — it finishes on its own even if the signal drops.

  7. The order screen after sending: status Sent, the video attached and marked Ready, and the buyer approval link.
    07

    Attached to the order, sent to the buyer

    The recording lands on the order itself, beside the customer and the items, with who added it and when. The buyer gets a link that opens with no account.

The recording screen four seconds in.

Record one yourself, right now

Not a sample and not a video of the product — your own clip, through the real pipeline, ending on a real verification page you can send to anyone.

  1. 1Scan the code that appears and the recording screen opens on your phone.
  2. 2Film anything you have on hand for a few seconds.
  3. 3You get the sealed record and its public verify link.

Takes about a minute. Nothing is installed and no card is involved.

02 — The seal

The recording is sealed before the return window opens

The recording becomes a single proof file and locks: no one can change it afterward, not even you. Anyone who opens the link sees exactly the same record.

Once sealed, the link always opens the same record — so the buyer can trust what they see.

Is it valid?

  • Anyone can verify it — every proof has an open verification link.
  • It can't be altered — the recording is locked the moment it's taken.
  • Who approved is on record — the buyer's approval, time and place are kept.

Make the next decision with evidence

This is the moment you open the file and show it: the item, the process and the sealed package, all in one place.

05 — The math

What do refunds and returns cost you?

Every refund means shipping, repacking and often an item you can no longer sell. Some of those claims are not honest. See it with your own numbers.

Refund and return questions

The buyer already opened a refund request — is it too late?

No. The evidence is made at packing, not at the claim, so it is already there when the request arrives — that is the whole point of recording up front.

Is it hard to set up?

Connects to Shopify and WooCommerce in minutes; no code.

Can a packing video stop wardrobing?

It does not stop someone buying with the intention of returning — nothing does. What it changes is the argument afterwards. When you can show the garment folded, tagged and unworn at the moment it was packed, a 'it arrived like this' claim has to explain the difference, and most are dropped rather than argued.

What if the buyer says the item was damaged in transit, not by them?

That is a different claim and it is answered by the same recording, from the other end: the take shows the item's condition before the box was sealed. If it left you intact, the loss moved to the carrier, and the recording is what a carrier claim needs. See the carrier damage use case for how that side works.

Do I have to record every order, or only high-value ones?

Recording only high-value orders is a common choice and it works, but it has a cost worth knowing: the claim you cannot answer is usually on an order nobody thought was risky. Recording everything is cheaper than it sounds because the capture is a phone and a few seconds; the pricing scales with orders, not with cameras.

Is recording staff at the packing bench allowed?

In the EU and UK a recording of an identifiable person at work is personal data, so it needs a lawful basis, a stated purpose, a retention period and staff who know it is happening. In practice this is a short written notice and a defined retention window rather than a legal project. Frame the camera on the bench rather than on faces, and delete on a schedule instead of keeping everything forever.
