Aftercare Mandate is a merchant workspace for customer-authorized returns, warranty claims, and cancellations. The customer freezes the merchant, subject, action, requested outcome, and expiry. A delegate can submit only that exact request. The merchant proposes a resolution, and the customer alone approves or declines it. It records authorization and acceptance; it does not execute refunds, shipments, cancellations, warranty decisions, or payments.
Post-purchase agents can send a request long before anyone agrees on the outcome. We built Aftercare Mandate to make those boundaries visible: the customer freezes the merchant, subject, action, requested outcome, and expiry; the delegate submits that exact request; the merchant proposes; and the customer approves or declines. The workspace records authorization and acceptance. It does not execute a refund, shipment, cancellation, warranty decision, or payment. We would value feedback from support teams on which handoff fails most often today.
