Can I give a partial refund for a missing item on an online order?
Updated 11 October 2026
Yes. Stripe allows partial refunds, so you can return just the price of the missing dish. The refund is paid out of your available Stripe balance.
- Partial: you choose the amount, so a missing side or drink does not mean refunding the whole order.
- Balance: refunds come out of your available Stripe balance.
- Low balance: if the balance is too low, card refunds stay pending until there is enough money.
- Tell the customer: say which item and what amount you are refunding.
See every item before you refund
Online orders show in your Menuthere dashboard with every item, so it is easy to see which dish was missing and what to refund.
