Returns and Refunds: Process Full Product Return

Step-by-step guide to process a full Product return in eWinery. This is a return when all products are returned to inventory and a credit is issued for all monies paid toward the order.

Process Full Return

IMPORTANT: 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 Return?

When processing a full return this will return all products in a given order to inventory and issue a credit for all monies paid toward the same order. Once a full return has been made, the order can no longer be edited.

When to do a Full Return

A full return should be issued when all monies are to be returned to the customer AND all of the products on the order are to be returned to inventory.

Here are a few examples of when a full refund would be used:

  • Customer was double charged.
  • Customer does not want the wine.
  • Order is incorrect and must be re-rung.

Processing a Full Return

  1. Click 'Create Refund' on the Refund tab of the order
  2. Select Full Return form the 'Return or Refund Type' drop down.
  3. Select the Return reason code from the 'Reason for Return' drop down.
    *For instructions and information on how to create 'Return and Refund Reason codes' please visit Returns and Refunds: Add/Edit Reason Codes
