Note:
# When you cancel or refund an order from Shopify end, it automatically reflects on the marketplace.

But if due to any issue, the order status is not updated in the next 24 hours, then you can manually update the order refund cancel amount in the app.

We strictly suggest you to wait for 24 hours before doing this manually otherwise the seller earnings will rollback twice & may cause a mess.

# RMA request can be raised for partially refunded orders also.
