customer-billing-ops

Handle customer billing issues with connected tools such as Stripe. Review subscriptions and invoices, classify the problem, address refunds or cancellations, and prepare a handoff with revenue impact, customer follow-up text, and product gaps.

OriginalShow the original description

Operate customer billing workflows such as subscriptions, refunds, churn triage, billing-portal recovery, and plan analysis using connected billing tools like Stripe. Use when the user needs to help a customer, inspect subscription state, or manage revenue-impacting billing operations.

Good for

  • Investigating duplicate subscriptions or unexpected charges
  • Handling failed renewals and payment method problems
  • Restoring access to billing and cancellation controls
  • Reviewing plan mix and team seat confusion

Overview

What it does

Investigate customer billing problems and organize responses and operator handoffs based on the cause. The skill identifies customers from email addresses or subscription and invoice IDs. It reviews active and canceled subscriptions, renewal status, and duplicates before classifying the issue.

It then helps restore access to billing management, correct subscription state, or refund the affected charge. The handoff brings together actions taken, revenue impact, a draft customer reply, and product improvements that need attention.

When it helps

Use it for support requests such as “I was charged twice,” “I cannot cancel,” or “My renewal failed.” It also helps when reviewing the mix of monthly and annual plans or investigating discrepancies between team usage and the subscription's seat arrangements.

Example requests

  • “Investigate this customer's duplicate subscriptions and work out the refunds and cancellations needed.”
  • “Check why this customer cannot access billing management, and summarize the response with a draft reply.”

Notes

The skill uses connected billing tools such as Stripe. It classifies the issue before refunding and checks contract details for annual plans, team plans, or prorated billing. Responses must not contain secret keys, full card details, or unnecessary personal information.

Objective evaluation

AI rated this skill on four points using only the contents of its SKILL.md. Stars and popularity are not taken into account.

Clear instructionsIs it clear when to use it and what it does?
AGoodDuplicate subscriptions, failed renewals, and inability to cancel are explicitly linked to billing operations.

AGoodFive stages cover customer identification through handoff, with an issue classification table and a defined output format.
SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?
BPartly lackingClassification, contract checks, and information restrictions are specified, but approval conditions for refunds and cancellations are absent.
Easy setupDoes it need few tools or API keys, and are they documented?

Customer Billing Ops

Use this skill for real customer operations, not generic payment API design.

The goal is to help the operator answer: who is this customer, what happened, what is the safest fix, and what follow-up should we send?

When to Use

  • Customer says billing is broken, they want a refund, or they cannot cancel
  • Investigating duplicate subscriptions, accidental charges, failed renewals, or churn risk
  • Reviewing plan mix, active subscriptions, yearly vs monthly conversion, or team-seat confusion
  • Creating or validating a billing portal flow
  • Auditing support complaints that touch subscriptions, invoices, refunds, or payment methods

Preferred Tool Surface

  • Use connected billing tools such as Stripe first
  • Use email, GitHub, or issue trackers only as supporting evidence
  • Prefer hosted billing/customer portals over custom account-management code when the platform already provides the needed controls

Guardrails

  • Never expose secret keys, full card details, or unnecessary customer PII in the response
  • Do not refund blindly; first classify the issue
  • Distinguish among:
    • accidental duplicate purchase
    • deliberate multi-seat or team purchase
    • broken product / unmet value
    • failed or incomplete checkout
    • cancellation due to missing self-serve controls
  • For annual plans, team plans, and prorated states, verify the contract shape before taking action

Workflow

1. Identify the customer cleanly

Start from the strongest identifier available:

  • customer email
  • Stripe customer ID
  • subscription ID
  • invoice ID
  • GitHub username or support email if it is known to map back to billing

Return a concise identity summary:

  • customer
  • active subscriptions
  • canceled subscriptions
  • invoices
  • obvious anomalies such as duplicate active subscriptions

2. Classify the issue

Put the case into one bucket before acting:

CaseTypical action
Duplicate personal subscriptioncancel extras, consider refund
Real multi-seat/team intentpreserve seats, clarify billing model
Failed payment / incomplete checkoutrecover via portal or update payment method
Missing self-serve controlsprovide portal, cancellation path, or invoice access
Product failure or trust breakrefund, apologize, log product issue

3. Take the safest reversible action first

Preferred order:

  1. restore self-serve management
  2. fix duplicate or broken billing state
  3. refund only the affected charge or duplicate
  4. document the reason
  5. send a short customer follow-up

If the fix requires product work, separate:

  • customer remediation now
  • product bug / workflow gap for backlog

4. Check operator-side product gaps

If the customer pain comes from a missing operator surface, call it out explicitly. Common examples:

  • no billing portal
  • no usage/rate-limit visibility
  • no plan/seat explanation
  • no cancellation flow
  • no duplicate-subscription guard

Treat those as ECC or website follow-up items, not just support incidents.

5. Produce the operator handoff

End with:

  • customer state summary
  • action taken
  • revenue impact
  • follow-up text to send
  • product or backlog issue to create

Output Format

Use this structure:

CUSTOMER
- name / email
- relevant account identifiers

BILLING STATE
- active subscriptions
- invoice or renewal state
- anomalies

DECISION
- issue classification
- why this action is correct

ACTION TAKEN
- refund / cancel / portal / no-op

FOLLOW-UP
- short customer message

PRODUCT GAP
- what should be fixed in the product or website

Examples of Good Recommendations

  • "The right fix is a billing portal, not a custom dashboard yet"
  • "This looks like duplicate personal checkout, not a real team-seat purchase"
  • "Refund one duplicate charge, keep the remaining active subscription, then convert the customer to org billing later if needed"
