#ConsumerCare by Hashting: Always-On Programme

A small refund shouldn't become a big job.

Your care team solves the complaint. But paying the customer can mean Finance requests, approvals, bank details and days of follow-up. Hashting gives your team a simpler way to arrange consumer refunds, without turning customers into suppliers or touching your ERP.

The problem

Your agent did the work but can't close the case.

The problem isn't your team. It's a refund process that won't let them finish.

"Five, ten departments, just to pay one person. It's a mess."
Consumer Care lead, European pet food company active in 5+ countries
The case stays open

The customer is happy with the fix. But the refund waits on a system or an approval, so the ticket stays open.

One refund, many departments

Finance, master data, treasury. A small refund turns into forms, sign-offs and a customer set up as a supplier.

The customer can't get paid their way

Many people won't share an IBAN by phone or email. Your agent has no other way to offer.

How it's done today

Three slow ways brands pay refunds today.

Workaround 1

Send a product pack

Warehouse requestPickPackShipTrack
Hidden cost: Packing, shipping, tracking. And the customer just wanted their money.
Workaround 2

Manual bank transfer

Create supplierERP master dataFinanceApprovalPayment run
Hidden cost: Your customer becomes a supplier in your books. Up to 10 departments for a few euros.
Workaround 3

Voucher / gift card

Buy voucherSend codeConsumer must shop again
Hidden cost: It feels like an insult: "You messed up, and now I have to shop with you again?"

How it works

Your agent can start the refund while the customer is still on the line.

Your agent's part is done

Your agent starts the refund from the call. The approver and the customer take it from there, so your agent is not chasing anyone.

One request, one approver

No supplier setup, no master data, no payment run. An approver adds a code and Hashting pays.

The customer picks how to get paid

Bank, PayPal, Bizum or Twint, depending on the country. They type it in themselves.

Customer story

Six agents and four approvers handle refunds in four languages.

The team sells online across France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. They work per language, not per country, so they never know where the next complaint comes from.

A refund outside the euro zone meant adding the customer to their systems as a supplier. Five to ten departments, for one payment. And many customers simply didn't want to share their bank number.

Now the agent sends a link. The customer adds their own details. In Spain they can choose Bizum, which even older customers already use. "Some people are very happy because they receive the payment back very fast."

Payment methods & coverage

Customers pick how to get paid. You pick the countries.

SEPA Bank TransferPayPalBizumTwint

It's simple. Mix any countries, languages and payment methods. Each customer sees the payment options that work in their own country.
