How to process a WooCommerce refund

Please note: You may only refund an order that is in a Processing or Completed status

Log into your WooCommerce dashboard
On the left-hand menu select WooCommerce
From the drop down menu, select Orders
You will see all your orders and their status. This is what each status means:
- Processing : Payment is received and the order is being processed
- Completed : Payment is received and the order has been completed
- Pending : Payment for the order is pending
- Cancelled: Order has been cancelled
- Refunded : Order has been successfully refunded

To process a full refund:

Select the order you wish to refund

The order details will be displayed, select Refund

On the order item, select the quantity (Qty) to refund and the refund amount will automatically update
Select Refund Via iKhokha

Please note: The amount of unsettled funds in your WooCommerce account needs to be enough to perform the refund successfully via iKhokha. If not, there is a manual option available to refund your customers alternatively (e.g. Instant EFT).

You may enter the optional Reason for the Refund
The refunded amount reflects as a negative value in red

Once the refund is successfully processed, the order status will update to Refunded.

To process a partial refund:

If there are multiple items in one order but not all items need to be refunded, no problem!

You can perform a partial refund with these easy steps:

Select the order you wish to refund

Select the items you wish to refund and their quantity
Then select Refund via iKhokha

The individual item will be refunded and the order status will update to Partial Refund.

The amount will display as a negative number in red and the balance of the total order as the Net Payment
Once the partial refund is processed, the refunded amount is subtracted from the total transaction amount on the Orders screen.

Important information to take note of:

A refund can only be performed on successful WordPress website transactions

Only orders in Processing or Completed status may be refunded
