Shopify - Credit Memos

This feature requires additional licensing. Please contact AcctVantage Sales for a quote.

When a previously imported Shopify Order is refunded, a Credit Memo will be imported into AcctVantage. You can choose to either return inventory to stock or not.

  1. Refund without returning inventory:
    • A refund will be issued via Shopify but inventory will NOT be restocked.
    • The non-inventory Default Refund Part Number will be used on the imported Credit Memo instead of the inventory items.
    • The imported Credit Memo will also contain the refund.
  2. Refund and return inventory:
    • Inventory WILL be restocked and a refund will be issued.
    • The imported Credit Memo will contain the returned inventory items and the refund.
