Refunds

Refund process for settlements and billing

Refunds — Processing

The retailer may instruct ESW to refund any amount to the shopper outside the standard returns/cancellations process. Refunds will only be processed for items that have already shipped. If an item has not shipped, it must be refunded via the cancellation process.

Process

Submit Refund Request (CSP)

Retailer Customer Service submits the refund in the ESW Customer Service Portal (CSP). This triggers a financial transaction. Refunds can be issued at article (SKU) level or for the entire order.


ESW Processing & Shopper Follow-up

ESW processes all refunds. If a refund attempt fails, ESW will retry or notify the retailer’s customer service to contact the shopper directly.


Settlement Reporting & Deductions

Refunds are included in the settlement file (via email). ESW deducts the full amount of approved refunds from the retailer’s settlement.
