As part of the refund process, you have the option to restock the items and to send a notification email to the customer. If there is no payment to refund, then you can the items from the order.

Note

A refund can only be sent to the original payment method. If a customer no longer has access to that payment method, then they need to contact the bank or agency for the original payment method to claim the funds after the refund is sent.

If you're using Shopify Payments and you issue a refund, then the amount is deducted from your next available payout. A refund takes up to 10 business days to be credited back to your customer.

If you're using Shopify Payments and your payout doesn't have enough funds for a return, then there are different outcomes depending on where you are located.

• In the United States, Canada, and Australia, the balance is debited from your bank account on the day of the payout.

• In all other countries, the remainder of the refund is deducted from the next payout until the refunded amount is covered.

If a negative balance payout fails, then the payout is tried again in 3 business days. If your Shopify Payments account displays a negative balance, then you might not be able to issue a refund. Refunds are listed as Pending until you have made enough sales to have a positive balance in your Shopify Payments account. After your Shopify Payment account has a positive balance, you can successfully issue a refund.

The refunds or transactions that contribute to the negative balance are listed under your Transactions tab as Pending. If you don't have enough sales coming in to clear a negative balance, then there's a possibility of making a manual repayment into the account. Depending on the balance, and the duration of arrears, the Shopify Recovery team might get in touch directly with your store owner to address the negative balance, and to keep your Shopify Payments account in good standing.

If the Shopify Recovery team doesn't reach out, then you can email [email protected] to receive a payment link so that you can make a payment with a debit card, credit card, or wire transfer.
