Refund to Bank Account

Last Updated: January 11, 2026

Refund to Bank Account is available only for orders paid via Cash on Delivery (COD).
For all other payment methods, refunds must be issued back to the original payment method.

Refunding Customers Who Pay Via Cash on Delivery 

For COD orders, use the Refund to Bank Account resolution to collect the customer’s IBAN, transfer the funds from your bank, and then mark the RMA as refunded.

ReturnGO does not execute the bank transfer, and this action is not logged back to the Shopify order.

Capabilities

ReturnGO’s refund to bank account return resolution enables you to: 

  • Receive the customer’s IBAN details. The customer will be prompted to enter their IBAN details in the return portal. 

Refund to Bank

  • Document the refunded amount in the RMA page. 

Requirements and Limitations 

The requirements and limitations of the refund to bank account resolution are:

  • ReturnGO does not execute the money transfer to the customer’s bank account.
  • You can use the IBAN provided by the customer to transfer the money between banks while documenting it on the RMA page. 
  • Marking a refund to bank account request as “refunded” does not get logged back to the Shopify order.
