# Refunds

> How to refund orders in WooCommerce and Dintero Backoffice.

You can refund orders directly through the Dintero plugin in WooCommerce. Backoffice provides a backup method if the plugin is unavailable.

<Info>
  Only **captured** orders can be refunded. If an order has status **Processing** in WooCommerce (authorized but not yet captured), cancel it instead of refunding. Cancelling before capture avoids the transaction fee; refunding after capture does not.
</Info>

Refunds typically reach the customer within 1–3 business days.

## Refund in WooCommerce

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the order">
    Go to **WooCommerce** > **Orders**, open the order, and click the **Refund** button at the bottom of the order.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the order">
    In [Dintero Backoffice](https://backoffice.dintero.com), go to **Payments** and locate the order.
