# Resolution Center

> Manage refund requests before they turn into disputes

The Resolution Center lets you respond to unhappy customers and action refund requests. All Resolution Center cases can be actioned from the **[Payments](https://whop.com/dashboard/payments/)** tab of your dashboard.

If you have any open Resolution Center cases (refund requests), you will see a button at the top of your screen that says "X open resolutions". You can click that button to directly access and action the refund cases that require your response.

You have 7 days from the time a Resolution Center case is opened to respond to the request. You can choose to accept the case, deny the refund, or request more information from the customer. If you do not respond within 7 days, Whop's team will step in and make a decision.

## How the Resolution Center works

Here's what happens when a customer opens a claim:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Customer opens a claim">
    They explain the issue and choose a reason. They can upload up to 3 files
    (screenshots, videos, receipts).
  </Step>

  <Step title="You receive a notification">
    Whop sends you an email and the case appears in your **Resolution Center**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You respond">
    Chat directly with the customer and click **Accept**, **Deny**, or **Request
    more info**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A decision is made">
    If resolved between you and the customer, the case is closed. If the case is
    not resolved or you don't respond within 7 days, Whop will step in and make
    a decision.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Escalations and appeals

**If you don't respond within 7 days:**

* Whop reviews the case and decides based on all available info
* Both you and the customer are notified of the outcome

**Appeal process:**

* If either you or your customer disagrees with a decision, either party can appeal
* Whop will review the case again
* That decision is final and cannot be appealed further

## Notifications

Whop will email you when:

* A customer opens a new dispute
* A customer replies to your request for more info
* A case is resolved, escalated, or appealed
* Final decisions are made

If you're not getting emails from the Resolution Center, go to **Dashboard** > **Settings** > **Notifications** and turn on the **Resolution Center** toggle.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How many cases can a customer open?">
    Customers can open a case within 120 days of each payment they've made. For
    example, if a customer has made three payments, they can open three cases.
    However, only one case can be opened per payment. Once a case is closed and
    all appeals have been exhausted, the case cannot be reopened.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can a customer open a case for a payment that has already been refunded?">
    No. When a payment is refunded, no further case can be opened.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are all payments eligible for the Resolution Center?">
    Only fiat payments are eligible for the Resolution Center. Payments made
    with cryptocurrency via Coinbase Commerce are not eligible since they are
    irreversible and non-refundable.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens when Whop decides in favor of the customer?">
    Whop will either refund the customer on your behalf (which will be
    automatically processed) or decide to credit the customer's Whop Balance
    (which you do not incur a cost for). The result will be clearly communicated
    to you and the customer through the Resolution Center timeline for the case.
