The best way you can follow to exchange items on Shoipfy is to first Refund it, and then use credit purchase to re-order the new item.
If only a part of the refund is being used to purchase new order, then you divide the refund to the original payment method and store credit. The payment made by the original payment method can be returned to the customer, and the remaining can be paid by store credit to re-purchase.
This process will help you to:
- Reconcile end-of-day reports
