Understand how refunds can affect customer access, downloads, licenses, and memberships in Banaslap Studio.
Refunds can affect customer access, downloads, licenses, memberships, and order status.
Before refunding a customer, it is important to understand what should happen to the digital products they purchased.
Beat stores sell digital files and license rights.
After a customer purchases a beat, they may receive:
If a refund is issued, you may need to decide whether the customer should keep access or lose access to the related files and benefits.
Before refunding, review the original order.
Check:
Refunds should be handled carefully because they can affect both customer rights and store records.
Stripe handles the payment refund itself.
When you issue a refund through Stripe, Stripe processes the money movement according to its own rules, timing, and payment method behavior.
Stripe processing fees may not always be returned depending on Stripe’s policies and your account settings.
Banaslap Studio uses order and payment status to help determine what access should remain available.
A full refund usually means the original purchase should no longer give the same access.
Depending on your store policy and configuration, you may want to:
For digital products, make sure your refund policy is clear before customers purchase.
A partial refund may not always require removing all access.
For example, you may issue a partial refund because of:
In this case, review the order manually and decide whether access should remain active.
If a license document was generated before the refund, you need to decide whether the license should remain valid.
This depends on your terms and refund policy.
Possible approaches include:
Your public refund policy should explain how digital license rights are handled after a refund.
If the customer has already downloaded the files, removing dashboard access does not remove files already saved on their device.
However, you can still restrict future access from the customer dashboard.
After a refund, check whether:
Membership refunds can be more complex because memberships may include recurring access.
If a membership payment is refunded, check:
If the subscription is cancelled or inactive, member access may be paused or removed.
A failed payment is not the same as a refund.
A failed payment means the payment did not complete successfully.
A refund means the payment was completed, then returned to the customer.
Access rules may be different for each case.
For example:
Create a clear refund policy before selling.
Your policy should explain:
Clear terms reduce disputes and support requests.
Refund behavior should be managed carefully on both Starter and Pro.
Starter includes a 10% Banaslap commission on beat and membership sales.
Pro includes 0% Banaslap commission on beat and membership sales, with a 1% service fee per successful transaction, excluding Stripe processing fees.
Stripe processing fees are separate in both plans.
If a refunded order still shows active access, check:
If a customer lost access after a refund but should still have access, review the order and manually confirm the intended access state.
If Stripe shows a refund but Banaslap Studio does not reflect it correctly, check webhook delivery and payment event logs.
