To establish a clear procedure for resolving cases where duplicate shipments occur as a result of synchronization errors between DigiStore24 (DS24) and KON.
Identification of Issue
If multiple orders are created in KON but Digistore24 reflects only one successful payment, the issue is deemed a system sync error between DS24 and KON.
These cases are not refund situations, as the customer has only been charged once.
Customer Communication
Inform the customer that the system error caused multiple shipments of the same order.
Advise the customer that no additional charges were made and that they may keep the extra products.
Encourage a friendly tone, and let the customer know they can share the extra bottles with friends or family.
Refund Handling
No refund is to be issued in these cases since the customer was charged only once.
As the payment was processed externally through DS24, the refund process does not apply.
Shipping and Returns
To avoid unnecessary costs, return shipping will not be arranged or required.
Customers are not obligated to send the extra products back.
Internal Documentation
Support agents must leave clear notes on the order stating:
Example: Duplicate shipments caused by DS24–KON sync error. Customer charged once per DS24 record. Advised customer to keep the extra products; no refund issued.
Summary:
If a customer receives multiple shipments but only one payment is reflected in Digistore24, treat the case as a system sync error, not a refund case. The customer may keep the extra items, and no refund or return shipping should be processed.
