Refund to Bank Account is a return resolution that enables stores that offer cash-on-delivery payments to refund customers directly to their bank account. 

Refunding Customers Who Pay Via Cash on Delivery 

For orders that were paid for outside of Shopify (such as Cash on Delivery), you cannot issue a refund directly to the customer through ReturnGO and Shopify. In these cases, you can refund customers by transferring money to their bank account.

Capabilities

ReturnGO’s Refund to Bank Account return resolution enables you to: 

• View the customer’s IBAN details. The customer will be prompted to enter their IBAN details during the return flow in the Return Portal. 
• Document the refunded amount in the RMA card. 

Requirements and Limitations 

The Refund to Bank Account feature has requirements and limitations: 

• ReturnGO does not execute the money transfer to the customer’s bank account.
• You can use the IBAN provided by the customer to transfer the money between banks, while documenting it in the RMA card. 
• Marking a refund to bank account request as “refunded” does not get logged back to the Shopify order.
