Returns and Refunds: Process Full Money Return

Step-by-step guide to process a full Product return in eWinery. This is a full refund all monies for a given order are credited back to the customer but no products are returned to inventory.

Process Full Money Refund

IMPORTANT: Full Refunds can only be processed through eWinery Solutions after the funds have settled with your payment processor. This usually occurs the next day after the order completes. If you process a refund in eWinery Solutions the same day your only option will be to void the order.


What is a Full Refund?

When processing a full refund all monies for a given order are credited back to the customer but no products are returned to inventory. This option would most likely be issued if the products were lost or damaged via shipping. The products would not be able to be sold again and the customer would need a refund.

When to do a Full Refund

Full refunds should be used when you need to reverse the charges for the order without bringing any of the items included on the order back into inventory. Use Full refunds for crediting back lost of broken shipments.

  1. Open the Original Order and go tp the Refund Tab.

  2. Click 'Create Refund' on the Refund tab of the order.
