How Does Pre-discount Credit Work
Plans: Premium, Enterprise Platforms: Shopify
Merchants can now enable the pre-discount credit feature with AfterShip Returns. It gives shoppers the credit according to the original value of an item, instead of the discounted value they paid. It means they have a little extra to spend when doing an exchange. This help guide will explain how pre-discount credit works.
Taxes are not included in the pre-discount credit.

Pre-discount credit
Extra credit (Percentage or Fixed amount, based on what you've configured)
Let’s suppose a shopper got a 20% discount on a product worth $100. It means he paid $80 to purchase that particular product. However, for some reason, he wants to exchange it with any other product. Now, if you’ve enabled the pre-discount credit feature, these 3 cases are likely to happen.
Case 1: Shopper wants to exchange with a cheaper product
Your shopper will get a $100 pre-discount credit. But if he/she wants to get a $60 item in exchange, you’ll only have to refund $20 as an amount or store credit since he/she originally paid $80 to you.
Case 2: Shopper wants to exchange with a bit of expensive product
If the shopper wants to get a $90 item in exchange, he doesn’t have to pay anything to you, since he/she has the pre-discount credit of $100.
The remaining $10 pre-discount credit can’t be used next time. Also, the pre-discount credit only applies to the order value, which means it can't be used to adjust the cost of return.
Case 3: Shopper selects a premium product for an exchange
If the shopper wants to get a $120 item in exchange, he has to pay $20 to you, as the pre-discount credit is only $100.
Besides the extra $20, the shopper may have to pay tax and the cost of the return if applicable.
