The Cancel group discounts feature ensures that promotional product discounts are recalculated correctly when customers return items.
This feature is available for merchants on the Premium plan.
Here is a short video on cancel group discounts:
What is Cancel group discounts?
In Shopify, you can create product discounts such as:
Buy X get Y
Amount off products
Buy 3 for the price of 2
Quantity-based product discounts
If a customer returns part of a discounted order, Returbo can automatically adjust the refund so the discount is applied fairly.
Without this feature, a customer could:
Return only the paid items
Keep the discounted or free item
Still receive a full refund
With Cancel group discounts, the discount is recalculated and reversed where applicable.
What types of discounts does this work with?
This feature works with Shopify Product discounts, including:
Amount off products
Buy X get Y
You can manage and create these discounts in Shopify under Discounts.

How to activate Cancel group discounts
Go to the Returbo app
Navigate to Settings → Request settings → Returns
Scroll down to Cancel group discounts
Select Yes, I want to cancel group discounts
Once activated, Returbo will automatically adjust discounts where applicable.
How does Cancel group discounts work?
Example:
A customer uses the discount code “2GET1FOR50%”, which gives 50% off the third item in their order.
If the customer returns items, the refund depends on which item is returned.
If the customer returns a non-discounted item
The system reverses the applied discount
The refund amount is reduced accordingly
The cost breakdown shows that the discount has been adjusted
If the customer returns the discounted item
No discount adjustment is made
The refund is calculated normally
This ensures that the discount only applies if the customer keeps the required items for the promotion.
Important
If a customer exchanges a non-discounted item and you later convert the exchange into a refund, the discount reversal will still be applied.
When does this feature not work?
‼️ This feature will not work if you manually enter or override the refund amount directly on the order.
It will work if:
You remove items from the order and allow the system to calculate the refund automatically
To ensure correct discount adjustments, avoid manually overriding the refund amount.
Summary
Cancel group discounts ensures that promotional product discounts are recalculated correctly when customers return items.
It:
Prevents customers from keeping discounted items unfairly
Automatically adjusts refunds
Works with Shopify product discounts
Is available on the Premium plan
