Order Issue Resolution Expectations

When an order issue is reported and resolved, the product will either be reordered or refunded depending on in-stock availability and the percentage of discounts received.

In some cases, order issues may not be approved per the Swipe Package Protection policies.

In this article, you can read more about what a customer can expect in each scenario and where to reach out for further questions:

REORDER

  • Shortly after Swipe has processed a reorder, the customer should receive a confirmation email from the merchant that includes the new order number and receipt of purchase. Once the retailer fulfills the order, the customer will receive another email with tracking information: tracking number, and a link to track via the carrier service (i.e. UPS, USPS, etc.).
  • Every reorder placed through Swipe will also be covered by Swipe Package Protection in the case of lost, stolen, or damaged items. So rest assured that the customer can always reach out to us should they experience another protected situation!
  • Lastly, we highly recommend that the customer downloads our app and utilizes Swipe’s Visual Tracking in order to keep an eye on reorder package status updates and future orders in one, user-friendly place.

REFUND

Shipping and tax costs will be refunded for select partnered merchants who have Automatic Issue Resolution (AIR) abilities. For those select merchants, refunds to original payment methods will be available, but in the case we are not able to offer a refund to your original form of payment, we will offer a PayPal refund as an alternative option.

For the remaining partnered merchants who do not have AIR enabled, refunds are calculated on the exact price you paid for the item(s) - excluding the cost of shipping, taxes.

In both cases, the Swipe Protection cost will not be refunded.

PayPal 

  • If the customer does not currently have a PayPal account, don’t worry! PayPal is easy, fast, and free to set up, all you need to do is follow this link to get started: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/account-selection.
  • Once the customer's PayPal refund has been processed, they should expect to see funds reflect in their PayPal balance within the next business day (if not much sooner). Sometimes it’s tricky to navigate how to transfer those funds to their bank account, so they can also reference this PayPal article if they need help!

Venmo

  • Once the customer's Venmo refund has been processed, they should expect to see funds reflected in their Venmo balance within the next business day (if not much sooner). If your customer is ready to transfer funds, they can do so within the app. They can reference this Venmo article if they need help.

Prepaid Mastercard

  • Once the customer's Prepaid refund has been processed, they should expect to receive an email with the card information.  The customer will be prompted to activate their card. If they need any help they can call support.

Original Form of Payment

  • If their payment is processed to the original form of payment, they can expect to see those back to their account within 5-7 business days.
    • Currently, Swipe is developing some incredible additions to our services that would include the ability to put money right back into their pocket for all merchants. However, until we release those features, PayPal is our safest, most efficient option for returning their money to them in those circumstances.
