## **How It Works**

When a refund is processed in Stripe, GHL Customer Care automatically updates the transaction status to reflect the change.

This sync runs in the background and requires no additional configuration.

---

## **What You Need to Do**

No action is required.

This fix is automatically applied to all accounts with an active Stripe integration.

## **Why This Matters**

Previously, refund status mismatches could cause:

-   Confusion in payment records
    
-   Duplicate refund attempts
    
-   Errors when processing refunds in GHL Customer Care
    

With this fix, your payment data stays accurate across both platforms, and refund workflows are more reliable.
