In This Article:


🔥 Quick Summary

You may need to issue a refund if a member was charged incorrectly, experienced access issues, or requested a cancellation that qualifies under your policy.

Refunds can be requested directly from your Business Portal. Once submitted, the system will automatically check your business wallet balance and either process the refund or create a support ticket if manual review is required.

⚠️ Refunds are irreversible once initiated.


📍 Where to Request a Refund

Go to:

Money → Transactions → Select the transaction → Click “Request refund”


🤝 Before Submitting a Refund

  • Refunds should be discussed and agreed upon with your member before submitting.

  • Submitting a refund request confirms your approval as the Community Manager.

For full refund policy details, please refer to our Terms of Use.


📝 Step 1: Select a Refund Reason

Choose the reason that best applies.

Product Refund Reasons

  • Product was not accessible

  • Member was charged incorrectly

  • Promo code was not working

  • Other

Membership Refund Reasons

  • Member was unable to unsubscribe

  • Member was charged incorrectly

  • Promo code was not working

  • Other


🔐 Step 2: Choose the Member’s Access After Refund

You must decide what happens to the member’s access.

📦 For Product Refunds

  • Remove immediately→ Member immediately loses access after submission.

  • Allow continued access → Member keeps access even after refund is processed.

👥 For Membership Refunds

  • Remove now → Member is removed once refund is processed.

  • Remove at end of current billing cycle → Member keeps access until the cycle ends.

  • Allow continued access → Member keeps access after refund is processed.


💰 Step 3: Wallet Balance Check

After submission, the system checks your business wallet balance.

To process automatically:

Wallet balance must be greater than or equal to:

(Sum of all pending refund original paid amounts)
+
(Current refund original paid amount)

For now, the system compares the wallet balance to the original member paid amount.

If sufficient → refund is processed automatically.


If insufficient → a support ticket is created for manual review.
