Resolution status definitions

AfterShip Protection has 4 resolution statuses described below:

Status	Description
To be resolved	The claim is submitted and is waiting to be resolved.
Resolved	The claim is resolved with the customer.
Denied	The claim is denied by the merchant or the insurance company.

Key things to keep in mind

Below are a few things to keep in mind:

In AfterShip Protection, we transfer the claim amount received from the insurance company to the merchant, so the merchant needs to resolve the claims with their customers.
A resolution status is the status between merchants and customers, showing whether the claim has been resolved with your customers.
The merchants can offer different claim resolution methods to their customers to resolve the claims, such as:

Replace with the same item(s)
Refund to original payment
Refund to store credit
Other

The merchants can resolve the claim with the customer before or after the claim has been approved by the insurance company, based on their business’s post-purchase strategy. For example, they can choose to immediately resolve claims for VIP customers or claims with an order amount of less than $100.
