====== How to issue a direct refund ======

__We will only issue a direct refund if:__

1.  The customer is using buzzwords.

2.  The customer has accepted an offer to keep the product instead of returning it.

---

If the customer wants to return their merchandise for a refund, then you must guide them through our [[howto:rma|RMA process]].

---

If processing multiple refunds, always refund the full amount for a single transaction before moving on to the next one. This helps us in the case of a dispute with the bank.
   
//For example://

   Charge for bottle 1 = 89.47
   Charge for bottle 2 = 89.47

//If you are refunding both charges, minus $9 restocking fee per bottle, the total refund amount is $160.94 (80.47 x 2). The refund should look like this://

   Charge for bottle 1 = 89.47 > Refund amount: 89.47
   Charge for bottle 2 = 89.47 > Refund amount: 71.47
