-
The refund feature is currently unavailable for child orders in a parent/child order split. The refunding must be initiated on the parent order. Please note the following:
- If the "Multi-Attribute Products Orders Checkout" feature is OFF, please proceed to the child order to manually change the payment status;
- If the "Multi-Attribute Products Orders Checkout" feature is ON, the payment status of the child order will be synced at the same time, and its order status cannot be manually changed. For a more detailed guide, please see: Order Split.
- Using SHOPLINE Payments' refund feature will incur a HK$1 transaction charge. Although the full refund amount will be deposited on a customer's card, the system will also deduct this non-refundable transaction charge. SHOPLINE Payments Alipay online refund has no refund fee, and the transaction fee for that refund can be refunded.
- After the refund is completed, the system will automatically change the refund status. If you manually adjust the order's payment status to "Refunded" (without completing the above procedures), the system will not execute a refund for the order.
- If the customer pays with the consumption voucher via AlipayHK and needs to arrange a refund: If the consumption voucher has expired at the time of refund, but the refund is made within one month after the validity period of the consumption voucher, all refunds will be issued to the customer in terms of a new consumption voucher. The validity period of the new consumption voucher is the end of the month in which it is reissued. If the refund is requested over one month, or the reissued voucher expires, the refund amount will be returned to the government. Please contact the AlipayHK customer service hotline: +852-2245 3201 directly for follow-up inquiries.
- Orders can be refunded within 180 days after the transaction. If the transaction has been done over 180 days, it is recommended that you refund the customer offline.
