Payments settle straight into your Stripe account — Litestore never sits between you and the money. Every transaction is a ledger row, refunds cannot exceed the order, and disputes are tracked with the evidence deadline in view.
Payment rows are never edited. Corrections are added as new rows, so an order's full financial history stays intact.
The database prevents refunds from exceeding the order total and requires the ledger currency to match the order.
Each order stores its total in your base currency as it was on the day of purchase, so reporting doesn't shift with exchange rates.
Chargebacks arrive as records with their status and evidence deadline attached to the order they belong to.
