## Frequently asked questions

### Will Refund Control respond fast enough to stop automatic approvals?

Refund Control listens for Apple CONSUMPTION_REQUEST notifications and replies in milliseconds, keeping you safely inside Apple’s 12-hour decision window so legit revenue isn’t lost by default.

### Can I control which refunds get approved or declined?

Absolutely, you set a default stance (neutral, grant, or decline) and override by app, audience, or market whenever you need.

### How much engineering work is required to turn it on?

If you already use RevenueCat, it’s a toggle. New folks add the SDK and point server notifications at RevenueCat, no extra backend, live in minutes.
