Return documents for Shopify refunds and exchanges
Return documents for Shopify refunds and exchanges
Refunds can create a sales return order or credit memo, chosen in the return and refund processing setting, using the same parameters as the sales order. For exchanges, Move Negative Lines creates a sales order or invoice for the exchange line.

Quotes
- 18:58 "credit memos are not compatible with uh directed put away and pick and other warehouse scenarios." - Limitation that decides when to use return orders instead of credit memos.
- 19:41 "because this is a return order, then by default value is order. For credit memos, the value is invoice." - Explains the default target document when moving negative lines.
Caveats mentioned
- AI is not much involved in the refund document
- Credit memos are not compatible with directed put-away and pick or other advanced warehouse scenarios, so use return orders there
- A return order with one positive and one negative line can still be posted as is
- The document may need to be reopened before moving negative lines
Prerequisites mentioned
- Shop setting for process return as credit memo or return order
- Advanced warehouse customers should use return orders
Documented features match

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale. The wider product documentation on learn.microsoft.com was searched for this feature on the same date; the feature's data lists an article when one was found.
