How do I process a customer return?

If there’s a return from your client’s retail purchase through SalonInteractive, use the following steps to make a refund.

Since SalonInteractive handles all the credit card processing on your Online Store, you
want to ensure the return goes through the SalonInteractive system so we can refund the client’s original form of payment.

Please note that you will see this as a negative transaction on your next commission payment report. We will never deduct money from your account but will remove the amount from your next commission payment.

SalonInteractive will process this refund to your client’s original form of payment immediately. Depending on the timeline for the client’s bank, it may take a few days to see that refund on their bank statement.

Now that you have collected these products, please contact your distributor for the best way to return these items to their warehouse.

You and your clients can also find access to the return policy in the footer of your Online Store.
