This article explains how to change a return outcome from store credit to a refund. The steps depend on the current status of the return.
If the return has not been sent back
If the return has not yet been shipped or processed:
- Go to the Swap Dashboard.
- Locate the RMA.
- Delete the RMA.
- Reprocess the return through the returns portal.
- Select Refund instead of Store Credit.
If the return has been delivered but not processed
If the returned items have been received but the return has not been finalised:
- Do not process compensation in Swap.
- Close the return in Swap without issuing store credit.
- Process the refund directly in Shopify on the original order.
If the return has already been processed with store credit
If store credit has already been issued:
- Remove the store credit in Shopify.
- Process the refund manually in Shopify on the original order.
Important notes
- Refund type cannot be changed in Swap after a return has been processed
- Any changes after processing must be handled in Shopify
- Always check the return status before taking action
