Common questions
Quick answers to common founder questions related to this tool.
Why do refunds create cash flow pressure?
Refunds reverse revenue after payment has already been processed, which can create instability if cash has already been spent or allocated.
Is a small refund rate still important?
Yes. Even modest refund rates can materially reduce profit, especially on lower-margin offers or heavily promoted launches.
