# How to process order cancellations and refunds

Sometimes purchases don't go as planned. At Palmstreet, we support sellers to **cancel or refund** orders for their customers. However, please kindly note that **coupons are not refundable** **unless the coupon is still valid and the order is processed via cancellation** by the seller rather than refund.

### **Cancellation for Pending Shipments Orders**

Just navigate to **Profile > Settings > My Sales**\

### **Verify the Cancellation Status**

If the customer requests a refund to recover a used coupon which has not yet expired, process an order cancellation instead of a refund. This ensures the valid coupon back to the customer's account.

**Notes:**\
At present, Palmstreet covers Stripe fees related to refunds. If the Stripe fees surpass $50, please reach out to our Palmstreet Support for a refund. The responsibility for these fees will either be transferred to the seller or the buyer.

### FAQs

**How Long Will the Refunded funds Reach the Original Payment Account?**

Once the refund is processed, it normally takes up to 7 business days for the funds to reach the orginal payment account, depending on the turnaround time of the bank.

**When Can Seller Process Refund for Orders?**

Sellers can process refunds for orders created within the past 60 days.

**How Partial Refunds Impact Order Status?**

A partial refund will not affect the order status. For example, if a partial refund is issued before shipping, the order will still remain in the 'paid' and 'ready to ship' status.

**How the Palmstreet credits refund work?**

Once the refund is processed, the credits used in the order will be available within 24 hours. Check the available credits by navigating to Profile > Settings > My credits

**If you encounter any issues regarding refunds, please feel free to contact the PalmstreetSupport account along with your order number.**
