If the product is to be returned to inventory, check the Return to Stock check box.
If the Product will not be returned to inventory, leave the check box blank.

In the Qty to Refund box, type the number of items to be returned.

📘

The Return to Stock check box appears only if you have set the inventory stock options to Decrease Stock When Order Is Placed.

Refund Amount

You may choose to issue a refund without the return of products. In the top left corner of the Refunds page, click on Refund Amount. On the right side of the page, you may enter a Custom Refund Amount.

Here you also have the option to refund the Shipping amount, or charge a Re-stocking fee, which will reduce the amount of the refund total.
