The problem
WooCommerce refunds rarely capture why money came back. Finance and product teams cannot see patterns without spreadsheets.
Who this WordPress plugin is for
WooCommerce ops managers, DTC brands watching return costs, and agencies auditing store health.
Refund Reason Atlas proposes a focused WordPress plugin that standardizes refund reasons at the moment of refund.
It adds required codes for shop managers and a compact report for owners — without a full BI stack.
