Effective management of customer service interactions, especially regarding refunds, is crucial for both businesses and consumers. GTBuy emphasizes complete accountability through systematic tracking. Here’s how you can meticulously monitor your refund cases and all corresponding support communication.
The Core Principle: Document Everything
The foundation of accountability is a clear, unalterable record. For every issue, you must create a dedicated log that follows a predictable structure. This eliminates confusion and ensures nothing is lost or forgotten.
The Three-Step Tracking System

Upon initiating a refund request, you will receive a unique Case Number or Ticket ID. This is your primary reference key.
