Consumables refund

Our company's APP makes in-ios purchases. The product is consumable. If the user refunds the money, how can the developer, as a developer, check for a refund? Will our product be returned to us?

From what I understand, Apple is reluctant to refund consumables. That being said, one makes money in consumer software development through mass-market sales. Don't spend any effort on refunds. If that is a significant problem, then you need to rethink your software and/or business model. Apple gives us a sweetheart deal. Don't worry about refunds. If too many developers rock the boat, we could soon be worrying about things like global sales taxes and chargebacks - in addition to refunds.
