Cancelling Orders

Order Cancellations—What is it?

In Modern Dropship, cancelling an order means that at least one party (buyer or seller) intends for the order to go unfulfilled. That means for an order to be considered "complete" it must be either fulfilled or cancelled. A fulfilled order cannot be cancelled and a cancelled order cannot be fulfilled. Cancellation of an order cannot be undone.

Modern Dropship also allows partial order cancellation under certain circumstances. Buyers and sellers can cancel certain quantities of line items on an order, as long as that quantity has not yet been fulfilled. Once again, cancellation of an item means that the buyer or the seller intends for that item to go unfulfilled.

How do I cancel an order?

You should use your main ecommerce platform to cancel orders. Modern Dropship will detect cancellations from your platform and communicate the change to your partner. Not all platforms are supported for this feature. Find your integration in the list below to see what cancellation features are supported for you.

Shopify Buyer

• We sync order edits, cancellations, and refunds from your Shopify store to Modern Dropship as cancellations.
• We sync cancellations from your sellers into your Shopify store as refunds. Your customer is notified automatically when this occurs. When your Shopify order is fully refunded then shipping costs will also be included and the Shopify order will be archived.
