Refunded Orders Behavior

When Refunded Orders setting is enabled:
ScenarioBehavior
EnabledRefunded orders do not count toward tier progress; earned progress is deducted
DisabledRefunded orders remain included (default)
Tier progress in both the dashboard and widget automatically reflects the updated calculation. Progress reductions from refunds are shown in real time.
If a refund lowers a customer’s total spending below their current tier threshold, they will be downgraded accordingly. If downgraded, any entry reward given as points will be removed, while coupon rewards will remain. Customers can reclaim entry rewards each time they requalify. The system tracks tier changes, reward adjustments, and refund impacts while maintaining logs for auditing and fraud detection.
