In any business, there are times when a customer needs to return an item or you need to refund some of the money that you have collected from them. You can do that through the RevolutionParts Returns and Refunds process!
You can process a return or issue a refund for any order on which parts have already been shipped and funds have been collected from your customer.
IMPORTANT: Returns and refunds can only be processed for orders in a COMPLETED status. Cancelled orders cannot create returns of received refunds from the RP platform. Please visit your payment processor's account portal to issue refunds if an order is already marked as cancelled.
