Refunds
A refund allows users to notify Linnworks that some or all of the money received from a customer for a specified (processed) order has been returned to the buyer. This ensures that reporting is accurate, as well as records for later reference and other purposes, such as taxation.
Creating a refund
Open the Processed Orders screen, and search for the order you wish to refund. Right-click the order and select Action > Refunds. Use the Full Refund button to refund an entire order in full or click the Add button in line with the item row to refund a specific item. You can then enter the refund amount for the item as well as a reason for the refund.
Please Note! You can't refund more than the buyer paid for a single line item. Use Additional refund button if you need to add a refund that's not associated with a specific item, or you want to refund more than the buyer paid. This will add a new line item to the item grid, that you can treat as a refundable item. There is no limit to how much you can refund on this row.
