About this block

Refund Status Card tracks one example refund across four stages: approved Tuesday at 9:14, sent to the bank two minutes later, bank processing happening now, on the statement by Monday at the latest. The two minute gap between the first two stages is the point of the card: the money leaves us within minutes, everything after runs on the bank's clock. Below the tracker, four payment methods get a wait bar each, from store credit instant to credit card at 5 to 10 business days.

Stages are one array with a state field, methods are a second array with a share value driving each bar width. The footer tells anyone past their range to reply to the refund email, and cites nine long refunds last year, all nine bank delays, all nine found.

When to use

Reach for this block on a refunds or resolution page, after the returns policy has explained how a refund gets approved. The day ranges per method must match what your processor actually delivers; the card only works if the clock it publishes is real.

A natural flow around it on an Ecommerce Pro page:

Before

• Returns policy
• Make it right promise

After

• Escalation contacts card
• FAQ section

What you can display

One strong use is the four stage refund tracker with method bars. Other status cards:

• Return status card. Label scanned to warehouse check to refund sent, the same stages for a return.
• Repair status card. Received, on the bench, tested, shipped back, with the current stage marked.
• Exchange status card. Old item inbound and new item outbound tracked as parallel rows.

Tip: the “happening now” marker does the reassuring; a customer who can see which clock is running stops writing the where is my money email.
