Automatic Refunds Triggered by Shopify Integration

If you notice unexpected automatic refunds, it may be due to a failed payment confirmation from Shopify. When Shopify is unable to confirm a transaction, the integration will automatically issue a refund to prevent any incorrect charges.

When this occurs, you’ll see the following message on the refund description: "Unable to confirm payment on Shopify. Refunded automatically."

Why a payment confirmation might fail
Payment confirmations on Shopify can fail for several reasons, including:

1. Product Availability: Shopify checks stock availability to ensure that products aren’t oversold. If a product isn’t available, the confirmation might fail.
2. Discount Code Validity: Shopify also verifies that any applied discount codes are still valid. If a discount is expired or invalid, the confirmation won't go through.

What to do

1. Review the Refund Message: the description provided in your Mollie Web app explains that the refund was triggered because Shopify couldn't confirm the payment.
2. Contact Mollie Support: if you need further assistance or guidance with this issue, please reach out to our support team using the steps below. We’re here to help!
