You can issue full or partial refunds for card payments directly from MioCommerce. The refund is initiated in MioCommerce and processed through Stripe in the background.

You do not need to access your Stripe dashboard to refund a customer.

Important to Know Before You Start

  • Refunds apply only to credit or debit card payments processed through MioPay (Stripe)

  • All refunds are managed from the Payments section in MioCommerce

  • You can refund:

    • The full amount, or

    • A partial amount

How Refunds Work

  • You select the payment in MioCommerce that you would like refund.

  • Click > Refund

  • MioCommerce records the refund and updates the payment status to Refunded

  • Stripe processes the refund back to the customer’s original payment method

This keeps your records accurate while ensuring the customer receives their funds correctly.
