Refund Request and Reconciliation Walkthrough
Use the supported request path, then reconcile the financial and access effects.
SoundSync
Arrange and verify a refund
No speculative endpoint call is needed for the current support-led path.
-
Identify the purchase
Use the order reference and verify the customer and requested items.
-
Check the request window
The standard policy is a full refund requested within 14 days; mandatory rights remain applicable.
-
Contact support
The developer arranges the request while self-service controls are being completed.
-
Reconcile financial entries
Check the actual refunded amount, tax correction, SoundSync fee, and developer balance.
-
Verify customer access
Check the refunded-order entitlements, serials, device state, and later validation; leave unrelated purchases intact.
Policy and implementation transition
The original SoundSync fee remains payable by the developer when a purchase is refunded. The customer receives the full approved refund, including the associated tax, without a SoundSync fee deduction. The developer adjustment covers the refunded pre-tax product amount; tax is reconciled separately. Use the itemized records to distinguish the refund from the original sale fee.
A full refund affects access to the items in the refunded purchase, not unrelated purchases in the customer's library. The policy is to remove the refunded access. Current product settings can require manual review or suspension, so support must check that the appropriate entitlement, serial, and device-access changes have been applied.
