What is the difference between cancelling and refunding orders

You can cancel or refund international orders that were placed via Glopal. Depending on the payment option and shipping option that you use, the process will differ. 

Canceling an order means that you stop the processing and this order won’t be shipped. 

When you refund an order, it means it was shipped but for whatever reason, you send payment back to the customer. You can refund an entire order or only part of an order.

How to cancel the order if you use Glopal for processing payments in the Glopal checkout?

You can manage the order cancellation via your merchant account.

Steps: 

1. From your merchant account, go to Orders.
2. Click the order that you want to cancel.
3. Specify the reason for the cancellation.
4. Provide additional notes if needed. 
5. Tick the checkbox, specifying that the full amount will be refunded.
6. Press Cancel order button. 

When you are cancelling the order, the full amount is refunded to the buyer and then the amount is deducted from your next payout.

Note: if you use the integration where Glopal sends the funds to you immediately post-transaction, you can trigger order cancelation from within your store’s backend (Shopify, Bigcommerce, Visualsoft). In this case, you will not have the possibility to trigger refunds from your Glopal Merchant Account.
