Send credit notes

A credit note is a tax document that reduces or cancels all or part of an invoice, for example, after a refund or an order correction.

Sufio can send credit notes to your customers automatically as soon as an order is refunded in your online store. You can also send them manually, either one by one or in bulk, from your Sufio account.

Send credit notes automatically

To enable automatic sending:

  1. In your Sufio account, go to the Settings → Emails page.
  2. In the Credit note section, switch the Automatically send credit notes when orders are refunded toggle on.
  3. In the same setting, click the highlighted dropdown and select when credit notes should be sent.
  4. Click Update settings to save your changes.

Send credit notes automatically

A credit note is then sent as soon as the order is partially or fully refunded in your online store.

To receive a copy of each email Sufio sends, turn on Send copies of all automatic emails in the Email options section of the same page.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stop Sufio from sending credit notes automatically?

Yes. In your Sufio account, go to the Settings → Emails page and turn off Automatically send credit notes when orders are refunded. You can still send credit notes manually.

Not at the moment. You can add a link to the invoice in Shopify's order confirmation email, but there's no equivalent link for credit notes. To share a credit note with your customer, send it from your Sufio account.

Why wasn't a credit note sent after a refund?

Sufio can only send credit notes that have been created. If no credit note appears after a refund, check that Sufio is set up to create credit notes automatically for refunds.
