How to Cancel a Shipment in Magento 2?
As a store owner, one of the worst news that you can hear is that a customer has requested to cancel an order. Nevertheless, customers have a right to cancel their order and as a store owner, you have no option but to comply. Of course, if the order is already shipped or processed, you can deduct a certain amount.
Cancel Order By Customer
The Magento 2 Cancel Order by Customer Extension allows customers to request order cancellations directly from the "My Account" section.
As a Magento 2 store owner, cancelling a shipment requires just a few easy steps, provided the carrier allows cancellations. A shipment can be cancelled before it is dispatched to a carrier. You can do so by opening the order and going to the shipment option. Once a shipment is cancelled, it can’t be undone.
Some carriers, however, don’t allow or limit cancellations after booking. For example, UPS requires you to wait 24 hours before you can cancel a shipment after booking. Therefore, you’ll have to check with your shipping service provider regarding the exact terms and conditions regarding cancellations.
Shipping Restrictions Pro
The Magento 2 Shipping Restrictions Extension lets you restrict shipping carriers and methods based on product, cart, customer, customer group, and other flexible conditions.
