Exchange an order item
Using the Shopify POS app, you can exchange a returned item for a new item. If there's a difference in price between the two items, then collect or pay out the difference during the exchange.
Steps:
- From the Shopify POS app, tap Orders.
- Tap the order for which you want to create an exchange or return.
- Tap Exchange, select the item that's being exchanged, and then tap Next. Returned items are added to the inventory of the assigned location for your POS device.
- Optional: Click Select reason to display a list of options to choose from for the return.
- If you click Next after the return reason screen, then you’ll be prompted to accept an Unknown return reason. For each reason, you can add a note.
- If you select Other for the return reason, then you must input a reason. Return reasons aren't displayed for orders where there are items that are unfulfilled. Instead, a free form text field for refund notes is provided.
- Optional: If you don't want to return an item to your inventory, then tap Restock at this location, deactivate the restock option, and then tap Save.
- Tap Next.
- From the available products list, select an item to exchange for the returned item.
- Update the quantity of the selected item, add more items if needed, then click Next.
- Optional: Toggle Mark item as unfulfilled to note that the item needs to be sent to the customer at a later date.
- If there's a balance remaining, then tap Refund or Collect and complete the transaction. If there's no balance remaining, then tap Exchange.
- Tap Done.
