Can Bookbag issue refunds automatically through Stripe?

Yes. If you grant refund permissions in the Stripe restricted key and configure eligibility rules in Bookbag, the agent can issue refunds autonomously. You control the maximum amount and time window.

What Stripe events does Bookbag listen to?

Bookbag subscribes to charge.refunded, payment_intent.payment_failed, dispute.created, and charge.succeeded by default. You can enable additional events in the integration settings.

Does Bookbag store card numbers or PCI-sensitive data?

No. Bookbag only reads non-sensitive metadata — charge IDs, amounts, status, and last-four digits — from the Stripe API. No raw card data is stored.

What if a customer's order spans multiple Stripe charges?

Bookbag looks up all charges associated with the customer's email or Shopify order ID, so split payments or subscription renewals are all visible in context.

Can I use Stripe alongside Shopify Payments?

Yes. Many merchants route some transactions through Stripe and others through Shopify Payments. Bookbag can query both simultaneously and merge the context before responding.

About Stripe

When a shopper asks 'where's my refund?' or 'why was my card charged twice?', Bookbag pulls the answer straight from Stripe. The integration surfaces charge status, dispute flags, and refund timelines so the agent can resolve payment questions instantly — and initiate refunds within the policies you define — without routing tickets to a human.

How it works together

Connect Stripe and Bookbag gets the context and reach it needs to resolve more tickets automatically.

Connect your Stripe account
Paste your Stripe restricted API key into Bookbag's integration settings. Scope it to read charges, refunds, and disputes — no write access needed unless you enable automated refunds.
Agent looks up payment context in real time
When a customer mentions an order or charge, Bookbag queries Stripe for the matching payment intent. Status, amount, card last-four, and any refund already in flight are all surfaced to the agent instantly.
Define refund policies the agent enforces
Set thresholds — e.g. refund orders under $150 within 30 days automatically. The agent checks those rules, issues the Stripe refund via API if eligible, and tells the customer their timeline without a human in the loop.
Webhook updates keep conversations current
Stripe webhooks push charge.refunded and dispute.created events to Bookbag in real time, so if a refund completes mid-conversation the agent immediately acknowledges it rather than giving stale information.

Benefits

Resolve billing questions without escalation

Over 40% of ecommerce support tickets are payment or refund queries. With live Stripe data, Bookbag handles the majority autonomously, cutting ticket volume and human agent load.

Faster refunds, happier customers

Automated refunds execute in seconds rather than the hours it takes a human to locate the charge, verify eligibility, and process it. Customers get confirmation before they close the chat.

Consistent policy enforcement

The agent applies your exact refund rules every time — no over-generous agents, no unhappy escalations. Bookbag logs every refund action for your records.
