    Is it possible to deduct charges before refunding the order amount? If yes, when and where can we do this?

    Thanks!

  • Yes, if you go to:
    Dashboard > WooCommerce > Orders > find the order
    About half way down under the product table is an inconspicuous button labelled “Refund”. Once clicked, it opens up a small dialog where you can enter the amount to be refunded. You will need to manually calculate the refund amount.

    You can also add in a separate fee if needed as outlined here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-orders/#order-items

    That way you can add in a line item for something like a restocking or usage fee, prior to refunding the order.

    Hi Kenin,

    I tried your solution, it didn’t work as expected. I will explain what I tried in simple order refund scenario,

    Order consists of 2 items of $50 each, now I need to refund 1 item of $50, I want to deduct charges of 10% and refund $45.

    If I use ‘Add fee’ from the Woocommerce backend, I will be able to add a -10% fee ($10 for $100 total for the order) so basically an additional entry is with -$10 is added to the order. If I refund the 1 item it still calculates $50 refund for that item. Even if I try to refund the entire order the refund amount is still calculated as $100, but of course it will fail as ‘Total available to refund’ will be $90 (due to addtional fee). So I have to manually calculate and enter the ‘Refund amount’.

    What I am expecting is charges/fees should be auto calculated (based on settings) and the refund amount after charges/fees deduction should be shown as ‘Refund Amount’. Is this feature available, or is it possible by any other means?

    Thanks!

    @scody,

    You’re essentially trying to issue a partial refund, as such @lorro’s explanation above is the way to go.

    I’ll go ahead and mark this thread as resolved.
