Handle stock shortages and processing issues

If a paid purchase shows a stock or processing issue, inspect the affected recipient before making another change.

1 min readReviewed

How to use it

  1. Open the multi-address purchase in Orders and read the issue shown for the recipient.
  2. If a recipient Shopify order exists, open it and check its stock, fulfillment and payment records.
  3. Use Shopify Orders for supported cancellations and refunds.
  4. For an order that was not created or a result that remains uncertain, contact PrepMyGifts support with the store domain and purchase reference.

What to know

Stock checks do not reserve products. An item can become unavailable after checkout; a stock issue does not mean the buyer has been refunded.

Check the existing order and payment history before trying again. Creating another order or repeating a refund while the first result is uncertain can create duplicates.

What happens next

The app shows confirmed fulfillment, refunds and credits separately from work still awaiting review.
