<div class="wccom-bundle-section">

<div class="wccom-bundle-section-content wccom-bundle-section-right">
<h3>Restrict refunds by products & categories</h3>
<p>Many stores offer refunds on specific products and categories only since some items are non-refundable. To address this issue, the advance returns and refunds extension for WooCommerce allows merchants to offer refunds on specific products & categories or entire stores.</p>
</div>

<h3>Restrict refunds by user roles</h3>
<p>Merchants can choose to offer refunds to specific user roles only. This ensures that refund requirements and eligibility criteria are met when offering refunds. This streamlines the refund management process, leading to improved customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.</p>
</div>

<h3>Restrict refunds by order date</h3>
<p>Almost all stores that offer refunds have a refund policy that returns can be made within x amount of days after delivery. To ensure that store owners can implement a time-bound refund policy, this smart refund extension enables merchants to add days, after which the refund button will hide automatically.</p>

<h3>Restrict refunds by order status and order amount</h3>
<p>Sometimes, order amounts can be so insignificant that the shipment, taxation, and other charges accumulate to a greater amount than the original order amount. Usually, merchants often reject refunds on such orders. With this extension, merchants can easily restrict orders lower than a specific amount for refunds.</p>

<h3>Restrict refunds by payment methods</h3>
<p>Managing refunds made from cash and delivery orders can be pretty challenging for some store owners; they are not only required to collect the return package but also responsible for returning the amount to the requester. This extension allows store owners to restrict refunds by payment methods easily.</p>
</div>

<h3>Restrict refunds by user country</h3>
<p>If merchants face difficulties in shipping to a country, then they also tend to avoid accepting refunds from those countries. This extension allows merchants to restrict refunds by customer’s country easily.</p>

<h2>Enhance User Experience with Intuitive Refund Chat</h2>
<p>Our innovative extension offers a seamless way for you and your customers to communicate through built-in chat features. This feature is beneficial for both sellers and customers.

<p> </p>
<h2>Allow Customers to Attach Files with Refund Requests</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">To ensure a seamless customer experience, allow them to upload file attachments along with their refund requests. Merchants can make file uploads mandatory or optional; in addition to this, allowed file types can be conveyed to customers via customizable error messages.</span></p>

<h2>View Request History through a Comprehensive Log</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">You can easily enable manual refund approvals from a log. You can view applications on hold, rejected, or approved. You can also see which requests are new, in process, or have been closed. With this data, you can respond to each application in a timely manner and make informed decisions for the future.<br />

Advanced Returns and Refunds

<p>Easily process returns and refunds with our cutting-edge, fully automated refund management system. Whether you prefer automatic or manual processing, our system can handle it all seamlessly.</p>

<p>Stores selling products to B2B and B2C customers must often adjust product prices and catalog visibility for different user roles. However, before that, they must assign user roles to hundreds and thousands of customers. This extension allows you to display a user role dropdown on the registration page to allow customers to choose their role. Previously registered customers can change their user role from the “My Account” page.</p>
<p>You can display selected user roles in the dropdown, enable manual approval for specific user roles, and leave the rest for auto-approval.</p>

<h3><strong>Display selected user roles in dropdown:</strong></h3>
<p>Instead of showing all user roles, this extension enables you to show only relevant user roles in the dropdown and keep VIP user roles at the admin’s disposal, to assign from the backend as they see fit.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6334853" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Display-selected-user-role-in-dropdown-1.png" alt="Display selected user role in dropdown" width="855" height="901" /></p>
<h3><strong>Manual and auto-approval: </strong></h3>
<p>You can enable manual approval for specific user roles and keep the rest on auto-approval. This feature allows you to validate customers before they can enjoy the benefits of special user roles. The customer will be able to login and will be assigned the default user role until the new user role request is approved.</p>

<h3>Add dropdown to My Account page</h3>
