What to Include in a Refund Confirmation Email
A refund confirmation email should answer the questions customers otherwise ask support: the order number, the amount refunded, which payment method it goes back to, how many business days it usually takes, whether shipping was refunded, and how to reach you if the money does not arrive. Keep the subject line plain, for example "Your refund of [amount] is on its way".
