Partial refunds occur when a way to refund a portion of a line in an order. For example:
- A customer's order order contains these three lines T-shirt – 20 USD, Shorts – 50 USD and Shipping – 15 USD. You need to refund 7.50 USD of shipping.
- A customer purchased a product online valued at 100 USD. Since they qualified for a discount that was not available online, you need to provide a 20 USD refund.
When you refund the full value of a line in an order, it is not considered a partial refund. For more information about refunding lines on an eCom order, click here.
