Refund processing

The controlled return of eligible funds after a purchase or transaction qualifies for a refund.

Safe refunds depend on authoritative order and supplier state. A timed-out or uncertain supplier request should not be treated automatically as a confirmed permanent failure, because the product may still be delivered. Distribution Hub's policies also distinguish eligible unused wallet balance refunds from failed-order refunds.

Key facts

  • A processing supplier order is not automatically refundable
  • Refunds should be idempotent
  • Unused wallet balance requests follow separate rules
