Hi. How can we help?

Partially refunding a line on an order

You can use partial refunds as a way to refund a portion of a line in an order. For example:

  • A customer's order contains three lines:
    • T-shirt – $20
    • Shorts – $50
    • Shipping – $15
      If you needed to refund $7.50 of the shipping cost, you would complete a partial refund.
  • A customer purchased a product online valued at $100. Since they qualified for a discount that was not available online, you need to provide a $20 refund.
  • A customer ordered a large number of the same product and you want to provide a bulk-order discount per item. You would complete a partial refund to change the price per item.
When you refund the full value of a line in an order, it is not considered a partial refund. For instructions on how to refund a full line, refer to our Refunding eCom orders article. 
For partial refunds with Lightspeed Payments, refer to our Refunding orders for Lightspeed Payments article.

To partially refund an order:

  1. Issue a custom refund through the payment provider's website. To do this, follow the steps in the issue a refund section of this guide. 
  2. Login to your eCom account.
  3. Navigate to Orders
  4. Click on the order you just refunded. 
  5. Select More > Duplicate > OK.
