Compliance and scale

Outcome

  • Understand Refund and exchange policy buyers can understand as part of running the store, not as an isolated technical setting.

When to use this feature

Use this before publishing the return page or enabling COD so post-delivery disputes are lower.

Quick steps

  • State whether you offer exchange, refund, or both, and explain the difference simply.
  • Define how long buyers can request a return after delivery.
  • Clarify required product condition: unused, packaged, or category-specific.
  • Explain who pays shipping when the store made a mistake versus buyer preference.
  • List refund rails: original payment method, transfer, wallet, or InstaPay when available.
  • Review with an accountant or legal advisor before final publishing if your category is sensitive.

What to watch

Do not copy a generic policy from another store; publish only what your operation can actually honor.
