Understand refunds, chargebacks, and net revenue#
Revenue can change after the original purchase. Refunds and chargebacks reduce the amount you actually kept.
Gross revenue#
Gross revenue is the purchase amount before refunds and chargebacks.
Refunds#
Refunds reduce revenue because money was returned to the customer.
If Tebex webhooks are connected, Joinometry can update purchases when Tebex sends refund events.
Chargebacks and disputes#
A dispute can later be won, lost, or closed. A lost dispute usually reduces revenue because the payment was reversed.
Net revenue#
Net revenue is the amount left after refunds and chargebacks.
When you judge campaigns, use net revenue whenever possible. It gives a more honest view of whether a campaign brought players who kept their purchases.
