Customers typically expect the refund to be issued through the same method they originally used. And 92% of customers surveyed said that they would buy again if the product return process were easy.
- For manual refund, if the customer wants to receive the refund in cash, staff will manually process the refund, either by handing over cash or making a bank transfer to the customer.

Once the refund is completed, customers will receive an email confirming the refund, with reassurance that it will be processed within 14 days, providing peace of mind.
Additionally, businesses benefit from better tracking and record-keeping, as the refund method will be clearly recorded in the order for future reference.
