Why Validate Refund Data?

Refund Tracking

Refund exports must link to original charges for accurate accounting. Missing Charge ID or invalid Status values cause reconciliation failures.

What This Tool Checks

We validate your Stripe refunds export: - Required columns present (id, Created, Amount) - Refund IDs follow expected format - Status values are valid

Each record is validated against format rules. Catch errors before they reach your platform.

Ensure you're using unmodified Stripe export

Charge: 1000, Refund: 1500
Charge: 1500, Refund: 1000

Refunds cannot exceed original payment amount

Frequently Asked Questions

Your data never leaves your device. All files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript - no data is stored on our servers or sent anywhere. There's no account to hack, no database storing your files, and no API connections to your bank or accounting software. You upload, convert, download, and we forget it immediately.
No payment or signup required. You can upload your file, see a free preview of the conversion results, and verify everything looks correct before paying anything. If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.
You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.

Refunds are submitted immediately but appear in customer accounts within 5-10 business days depending on their bank. Failed refunds can take up to 30 days.
Yes, you can issue partial refunds individually or multiple times until the full charge is refunded. Bulk partial refunds aren't available in the dashboard.
