ASOS - Create Refund/Cancellation

Summary of Changes: (The purpose of this table is to keep traceability and Product team to highlight the things that were changed into the scope, based on comments or discussions)

Date Version Name Applied changes
18/09/2022 v1.0 Initial Version
20/10/2022 v1.1 Bogomil Pavlov Added additional request OR30 for cancellations and extended the reason list
30/11/2022 v1.2 Bogomil Pavlov Reasons prefix updated
13.02.2024 v1.3 Bogomil Pavlov Incorporate Cancellation on not debited orders.

The purpose of this page is to describe in details the refund flow on MIRAKL.

The refund/cancellation request on MIRAKL is per item line id and we can include each separate item as additional “refund“ or “cancellation“ node. To process the refund/cancellation , we have to specify a reason which need to be added in the Refund UI for ASOS Marketplace. In order to obtain the reasons, we should use GET RE01 - List reasons call and then, to make a refund/cancellation , we should use PUT OR28 - Request a refund and OR30 - Request cancelations on order lines

  • GET RE01 - List reasons

API Call:/api/reasons

https://asosuk-dev.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#RE01

Please note we need to store only the reasons which are with type = “REFUND“ and type = “CANCELATION“

            "type": "CANCELATION"
        }
    ],
    "total_count": 47
}

Bear in mind we need to display the label into the UI but to send the code. Because in our UI we cannot distinguish the refund from the cancellation we need to add in the label what type is the reason is for the refund or for cancellation. E.G. [REFUND] - {label} or [CANCELATION] - {label}

  • PUT OR28 - Request a refund

API Call: /api/orders/refund

API Docs: https://asosuk-dev.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OR28

*Note:** Each payment row (type=refund) will need to be send as a separate request.

Example call: (one item in order)

MIRAKL allows us to refund:

  • Partially items;
  • Shipping
  • Orders

So the only validation we will need is to make sure we are not refunding more than we can for particular order item line!

PUT OR29 - Cancel an order not yet debited from the customer

API Call: /api/orders/{order_id}/cancel

API Docs: https://help.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OR29

We have to specify in the URL our Orders > Marketplace Order Id

Cancel an order not yet debited from the customer. All accepted but NOT shipped orders are treated as “Not Yet Debited” which means that if a cancellation has to happen, we need to use the OR29 call instead of OR30. Please note only full order cancellations for non debited orders are allowed and we would like to add internal validation and return internal error if not full cancellation is done.

Example call:

PUT https://mirakl.marketplace.laredoute.com/api/orders/12341231-A/cancel

Example Response: 204: No Content

Please note since there is no content in the response we wont have a transaction id for the refund so we need to make a OR11 - List Orders call for the specific order that we have cancelled and store the transaction ID.

This needs to be done after each 204: No Content response for the specific order that we are cancelling.

We have developed all possible scenarios:

  • If we have can_cancel = true and customer_debited_date = null and can_refund = false We need to use the OR29 to cancel the order
  • If we have can_cancel = true and customer_debited_date = date (in a 2023-12-04T12:26:07.043Z format) and can_refund = false we need to use the OR30 to cancel
  • If we have for some reason can_refund = true and can_cancel = true we need to use the OR30 to cancel (this is not an expected behavior anyways, if for some reason it happens for whatever reason we want to have it covered)
  • If we have can_cancel = false and customer_debited_date = null and can_refund = true We need to use the OR28 to refund the order (this is not an expected behavior anyways, if for some reason it happens for whatever reason we want to have it covered)
  • If we have can_cancel = false and customer_debited_date = date (in a 2023-12-04T12:26:07.043Z format) and can_refund = true We need to use the OR28 to refund the order

    </v1.3>

Specifics:

We will have couple of cases here because we will have one Order Payment row with type = refund but in MIRAKL there might be couple of transaction:

  • If all transaction are successfully and we receive the refund_id or the cancellation_id ,we need to mark the Order Payment > Status = "Completed" and Refund Row > Status = "Completed"
  • If not all transactions are completed but we have one or more completed we mark the Order Payment > Status = “Partially Completed“, Refund Row > Status = “Completed“ for the successful line and Refund Row > Status = “Error“.

Note: The error message stating which Order Item Line failed is stored in Order Error table.

  • **If all transactions failed we mark Order Payment > Status = “Error“, Refund Row > Status = “Error“ and store the error in Order Error table.

How to decide when to make a cancellation or refund is stated on the order. There are two flags which we can rely on in the order payload called "can_cancel" and “can_refund“ based on them we will know which is the correct request.
