How long does a refund take?
In most cases, refunds are processed immediately. Customers receive their money back either immediately or within ten business days. We always strive to process refunds as quickly as possible to provide a satisfactory experience for our customers. However, please note that the actual time it takes for the money to be credited to the customer's account may also depend on the respective banks or payment service providers.
IMPORTANT! Please note that SEPA transactions are not posted immediately. Processing a SEPA refund can take up to five business days. For this reason, we recommend that you discuss with your customers in advance that you will be making a refund to avoid duplicate refunds. It is important that your customers know that they have up to eight weeks to request a refund. We ask that you share this information with your customers to ensure a smooth and transparent process.
