Turn vague or confusing ecommerce refund rules into a clear, customer-facing policy explanation without accidentally expanding what the store is promising.
Use this skill when a seller, operator, or support lead needs to rewrite refund language so customers can understand it quickly while staying aligned with the store's actual rules. It is especially useful for TikTok Shop, Shopify, DTC, and creator-driven stores where refund friction often comes from ambiguity, not just policy strictness.
Use when
A refund policy feels confusing, contradictory, or hard to explain
Support teams need a clearer customer-facing version of existing rules
A seller wants to reduce refund confusion before checkout or post-purchase
You need plain-English clarifications without inventing new promises
You want to compare a stricter vs softer explanation style
Do not use when
The user wants legal advice on consumer law compliance
The store has no actual refund policy to clarify from
The task is to decide the refund policy itself rather than explain it
Inputs to ask for
Current refund / return policy text
Store type and channel
Product category and common refund scenarios
Refund windows, exclusions, and proof requirements
Return shipping rules
Exchange / replacement rules
Any problem areas causing confusion or complaints
