Definition
Refund reconciliation connects a refund, chargeback or credit note to the original conversion and commission record. It determines whether the affiliate balance should be reduced or clawed back.
B2B SaaS context
SaaS refunds can be partial, delayed or related to invoices after the first payment. Reconciliation prevents a commission ledger from drifting away from net revenue.
Operator note
Use stable payment and refund identifiers, process events idempotently and record both the original commission and the adjustment for finance review.
