After payment, a purchase continues to generate dates, evidence, and sometimes actions: delivery, returns, refunds, warranties, subscriptions, or product recalls. Post-purchase protection means keeping these elements organized so you can act at the right time.
AfterSentry uses this term to refer to a broader approach than simply tracking a package, invoice, or warranty: capture the purchase, protect the evidence, monitor what may still change, prepare the appropriate action, and then verify the final outcome.
1. Centralize proof of purchase
Invoices, receipts, order confirmations, emails, and screenshots are often scattered. Grouping them allows you to quickly find the seller, delivery date, amount paid, and product reference when a problem arises.
2. Track deliveries
In the event of a delay or a package not received, keep the announced date, the carrier tracking, and communications with the seller. These elements allow you to reconstruct the timeline without relying on a status that may later change.
Late delivery or package not received: what to do?
3. Do not miss a return window
The right of withdrawal applicable to certain distance purchases and commercial return policies are two different mechanisms. Keep the receipt date, the applicable conditions, and proof of your request.

4. Track a refund until it is actually received
A merchant's "refunded" status does not always mean that the funds are already visible. Keep the confirmation, amount, payment method, and actual receipt date.
Pending refund: deadlines, evidence, and follow-up
5. Quickly find warranty details
A warranty is easier to exercise when the invoice, issue date, product reference, and customer service communications are already linked to the correct purchase.
Product warranty: duration, proof, and procedures
6. Monitor subscriptions and renewals
For a subscription, the next due date, price, and cancellation conditions must remain visible. The goal is to decide before the renewal rather than reacting after the charge.

7. Check product recalls
An alert must be precisely compared to the brand, model, batch, or reference of the product actually purchased. The official French source is RappelConso.

The AfterSentry method
AfterSentry links each purchase to a complete loop: Capture → Protect → Monitor → Act → Verify. The goal is to prevent an announced refund from being counted as received, an important date from being forgotten, or a useful document from disappearing when you need it.
