Performing refunds
When editing an order, Cleverific Order Editor automatically refunds the order after the initial edit if a refund is due.
This article will show you how to initiate a refund for several scenarios:
- Refunding an item
- Refunding a partial amount of an item
- Refunding shipping
Refund an item
Locate the item you want to refund and click the trash icon. This will remove the item from your order. By default, Order Editor will automatically return this item (in whatever quantity it was purchased) to stock
Refund a partial amount for an item
Steps
- Locate the item you want to partially refund.
- Click the tag icon beside the price and discount it by percentage or dollar amount. You can also manually type in a new amount.
Refund shipping
To fully refund shipping, select the original shipping rate and manually change its price to 0. If you want to initiate a partial refund for shipping, adjust the price accordingly.
Results
When you remove an item in Order Editor, the item will no longer appear in the active list of items on your Shopify order page. If you only partially refund the item, it will appear with its reduced price.
In the section below the list of items, you'll also find the amount that your customer was refunded and the net amount that was paid.
In the Timeline of your order page, you will see that Order Editor has manually marked the order as refunded.
Limitations
Due to a limitation in Shopify, refunds will not be processed when issued through an order edited multiple times. If you want to add a refund hours or days after the first edits, you'll need to go back to the original order and manually perform a refund through Shopify.
