    When you sell products online you are always at risk for having to provide refunds. No matter what you do you are not going to please all of the people all of the time. But there are several steps you can take to lower your risk of refunds. These steps are good business and should be followed with every online sale, especially digital products.

    1) Offer post sale bonuses. Instead of providing everything straight after the purchase, set up a whole list of additional bonuses that the customer will receive over a period of several weeks. They are less likely to ask for a refund when they know more things are on the way.

    2) Let them know if you use a third party account. If you use a third party payment processing account such as clickbank or 2checkout make sure that you clearly state that you do so. When you use a third party account your company's name never appears on the customer's credit card statement. So let them know up front to expect to see a charge for x amount of dollars from xxx payment processor. This will reduce the customer initiating a chargeback because they don't recognize the company name on their statement.

    3) Be available. When someone buys something from you, give them your email address in case of problems. If a customer can work out the problems with you they are less likely to ask for a refund.

    4) Overdeliver. If you have a lot of promises in your sales letter but your product does not live up to these promises you will receive a lot of refund requests. Besides the refunds, you could be breaking the law and possibly be taken to court. So don't promise something that you can't deliver. Providing the additional, surprise bonuses stated above is a great way to over deliver on your promises.

    Your customer is your greatest asset. Treat them as such and you should have a lot of very satisfied customers and very few refunds.
