This page outlines the step-by-step process agents must follow when handling refunds. Always follow these guidelines to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Cancel the order on the fulfillment platform (Jetpack).
Then, process the refund in Samcart.
If the order is not imported in Samcart, process the refund in Shopify instead.
Always ensure cancellation in Jetpack before issuing any refund.

⚠️ Important Guideline for Agents:
Always start the reply with acknowledgment and empathy (e.g., “I completely understand how you feel”, “I know it can be frustrating when plans change”).
This ensures the customer feels heard before reinforcing the policy.
