What is the service that you are providing? Because whatever field I am in, being unable to provide a customer a refund is a large no-no.

The irreversibility of payments in nearly all crypto systems does NOT prevent providing a refund to a customer. That can always be done by making a new payment to the customer.

One might argue that crypto makes customers unable to demand a refund, or that it is impossible to send a refund to a customer who is so anonymous that the merchant cannot even communicate with them, but these are less obviously a "no-no" for a business.

Software development and consulting. None of this prevents us issuing refunds, we can simply reverse a payment by sending the funds back.
