Orders made through Bold Cashier need to be refunded in a different way than your standard Shopify orders. This ensures that the refunded amount actually goes through the payment gateway that processed the order via Bold Cashier.
Refunds are automatically issued within the app, but banks may take between 5-10 business days to complete this refund. Certain payment gateways may also require a 24 hour period before the order can be refunded.
When a refund is requested through your payment gateway, it may take 3-7 business days to be received by the customer, though this is dependant on the specific gateway used with Bold Cashier.
You can refund customers one of two ways:
- Through the Orders tab in the Shopify admin.
- Through the Bold Cashier admin.
