Sometimes you need to update the information in your orders, for example:
- a customer changed their mind and decided to buy some other product, like of different color or size;
- a customer made a mistake in the delivery address;

What if the order total changes after editing?
If the order total changes after editing, we will neither charge your customer for the insufficient amount, nor refund your customers.
So, if after editing the amount became larger, you need to contact your customer directly and agree upon the way they can transfer the money to you.
And if the amount got smaller, you need to return part of the money to your customer via your payment processor. Payment processors always allow making refunds in their backend. Please contact your payment gateway's customer service, if you’re not sure, how to do this exactly.
