#3 – Refund Requests on Renewals
Recently we've seen a big increase in refund requests for annual plugin renewals, even though we've had the same reminder emails etc. for years. Refunds for new sales have grown 22% in line with sales, but renewals are up 73% 😯
Has anyone else noticed a similar trend?
