Purpose
The purpose of this article is to outline how to cancel an order in the Back Office.
Note: A cancelled order cannot be undone. If an order is cancelled unintentionally, repeating the cancelled order for the same date/time is the best method to restore it.
Customers can also edit and cancel orders placed Online. Click Here to learn more.
Process
Cancel an Order
- Go to the Order Module.
- Find the desired order to cancel.
- Click the three dots on the right of the row, then click View to View/Edit.
- Click the Options button near the top right of the order, and select Cancel Order.
- On the subsequent pop up, choose whether or not to send an email confirming the cancelation to the Customer.
- If a cancellation charge needs to be added, add the amount in the box at the top. Check Apply Tax to include a tax on the cancellation charge.
- If a Payment Gateway has been integrated with Spoonfed, an Auto refund can be issued, which returns any payments made to the customer's original credit card that was used.
- Add more emails to send the Cancellation Confirmation Email to in the Additional Email Addresses box; separate multiple email addresses with a comma.
- If a cancellation charge needs to be added, add the amount in the box at the top. Check Apply Tax to include a tax on the cancellation charge.
- Click Cancel to confirm the cancellation.
Accidentally Cancelled the Order
A cancelled order cannot be un-cancelled. If an order has been cancelled by mistake, the order must either be repeated for the same date/time, or a new order can be created. (Please see the Add a New Order Guide for more information.)
Amend Cancellation - Apply a Cancellation Fee
Once the order has been cancelled, it will be tagged with a Cancelled status. To amend the cancellation, click the Options button near the top right of the order, and select Amend Cancellation. Amend Cancellation allows for the option to add a cancellation charge and request a fee from the Customer.
It does not undo the cancellation.
