  2. Query the customer's StoreCreditAccount using the storeCreditAccount field on the Customer object to obtain the account ID
  3. Use the storeCreditAccountCredit mutation (not storeCreditAccountCreditCreate, which does not exist) to add credit to the account
  4. Pass the amount, currency, and a reference to the originating order or refund in the mutation variables
  5. Confirm the mutation returns a storeCreditAccountCreditTransaction with the new balance
  6. Record the transaction ID for reconciliation and customer communication
