Returns and Refunds: Process Partial Product Return

Step-by-step guide to process a partial product return in eWinery. This is a return when some but not all items are returned.

Process Partial Return

IMPORTANT: Partial Returns 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 Partial Return?

When processing a partial return some but not all items are returned. A credit is issued equal to the dollar amount of the returned products. This is best used when only selected items in an order need to be refunded and brought back into inventory. The customer may have changed their mind on purchasing some items or their quantity.

When to do a Partial Return?

A partial return is used when some (but not all) of the products on the order will be returned. Here are a few examples of when a partial return would be used;

  • The Customer does not want one of the wines on the order.
  • One of the wines was incorrectly added to the order.

Processing the Partial Return:

  1. Open the Original Order and go to the "Refund" tab.

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

  3. Select Partial Return form the 'Return or Refund Type' drop down.

  4. Select the Return reason code from the 'Reason for Return' drop down.
