Refunds and credit notes

Last updated: 1 minute read

If you refund a customer in Shopify, Boekvogel turns that into a credit note. That also works for a partial refund.

Linked to the original or not

That depends on your document type:

1 Regular sales invoice If the whole order is refunded, Boekvogel credits the original invoice in Moneybird and the two documents stay linked. A partial refund becomes a separate credit note with the order number as its reference (for example #1001-R1).
2 External sales invoice Moneybird does not know that relationship there. The credit note gets the order number with a suffix as its reference, so you can put them side by side.

Cancelling without a refund

If an order is cancelled after it has been booked, without any money going back, Boekvogel leaves the invoice alone. You get this message:

This order was cancelled after it was booked, without a refund. Check in Moneybird whether a credit note is needed.

Whether a credit note is needed depends on what actually happened. That judgement stays with you.
