Payments and payouts

How do refunds work?

Updated · 3 minute read

You refund from the order in your dashboard. Paystack sends the money back to the card or bank account the customer paid with.

  1. Open the order and press Refund.
  2. Choose the items to refund, or the whole order. Turn on Restock if the items came back to you.
  3. Add a short reason and press Refund. The customer gets a refund email straight away.

The money reaches the customer in 5 to 7 working days and is taken from your next Paystack payouts. Refunds cover the items and delivery, after any discount. The processing fee is not refunded.

For a manual order paid in cash or by transfer to you directly, the refund is recorded only. Pay the customer back yourself.
