🔁 Shopify Refund Process
If Order is Unfulfilled:
- Can cancel order directly in Shopify
- Issue full refund
- No restocking or service fees apply
If Order is Fulfilled:
a. Customer Changed Mind (Customer-Initiated)
-
If eSIM has not been sent or activated:
- Apply 20% restocking fee
- Deduct credit card/service fees (based on payment method – Credit Card, PayPal, etc.)
-
If eSIM has been sent or activated:
- No refund
- Advise customer:
- Use on another compatible device
- Or save for future use (within expiry period if not yet scanned)
💡 Use common sense: If it was genuinely not the customer’s fault (e.g. they purchased an AT&T eSIM, but their Android device had unexpected compatibility issues), then we may consider a partial refund or waive the restocking fee. Review case-by-case.
b. Product Issue / Compatibility Concern (Our/System’s Fault)
If the issue is due to unclear product information, technical limitations, or an error on our side, refunds are assessed case by case.
Examples include:
- A device compatibility issue that wasn’t clearly explained
- A technical issue that prevents use of the product, not caused by the customer
📱 Example: Android Compatibility with AT&T
- If a customer purchases an AT&T eSIM but uses an Android device that isn’t clearly marked as incompatible:
- This is considered partially our fault
- A partial refund should be offered
- Only credit card/service fees are deducted
- Do not apply a 20% restocking fee
Summary:
- If it’s our fault: Full or partial refund, no restocking fee, only deduct payment processing fees if applicable
- Use judgment and fairness in each situation
Faulty Product (After Investigation)
- If confirmed faulty → Full refund
Stopped Working Mid-Use (After Investigation)
a. If it’s our or supplier’s fault

b. If customer used all data
→ Customer’s fault, no refund
