Issuing Refunds
Sellers can issue refunds directly from their 3DIMLI dashboard. Refunds are processed through the same payment gateway used for the original transaction.
Automated Refund Eligibility
3DIMLI uses a unified platform-wide refund policy. A buyer can request an automated refund only when both conditions are met:
- The product has not been downloaded
- The request is within 7 days of purchase
Before the first download, buyers see a confirmation dialog warning that the purchase becomes non-refundable once downloaded.
Seller-Initiated Refunds (Manual)
If a buyer contacts you about an issue after downloading, you can manually issue a refund from the Orders tab in your seller dashboard: regardless of download status.
How to issue a refund:
- Go to Inventory → Orders in your seller dashboard.
- Find the order and click Refund on individual items, or Refund Order for multiple items.
- Choose a refund type:
- Refund & Revoke Access: buyer receives refund and loses download access
- Refund & Keep Access: buyer receives refund but retains download access
- Optionally add a refund reason (visible to the buyer).
- Confirm the refund.
Timing
- Process refunds promptly; we recommend responding within 48 hours to buyer inquiries.
- If a buyer submits an automated refund request and you do not respond within 7 days, the refund is automatically approved.
Responsibilities
- Seller-managed: Sellers are directly responsible for payment-related issues and should work with their payment provider for transaction disputes.
- Record-keeping: Keep records of communications and resolution.
