Sync Shopify Refunds to Airtable

In Shopify, a refund records that part or all of an order’s money is being returned to the customer. Each refund carries a note, processed date, and the line items being returned, with quantities, subtotals, and tax amounts attached at the line level.

The Shopify admin shows refunds inside each order. For customer-service review, returns analysis, or finance reconciliation, that one-order-at-a-time view does not scale.

AirPower brings refunds and refund line items into Airtable as two linked tables. Refund Line Items link back to their parent refund, the original order, and the original order line item, so you can audit returns by product, reconcile refund volume, or feed downstream reporting.

Refunds and Refund Line Items sync from Shopify into Airtable for reporting. You cannot create or change refunds in Shopify from Airtable.

Set up Refunds and Refund Line Items

  1. Open a Shopify → Airtable sync or create a new one
  2. In Connections, select your Airtable base
  3. Go to Data & fields
  4. Click Refunds
  5. Select the Airtable table to sync to
  6. Open the Main Fields pane and map the fields you want to sync
  7. Click Save sync

Repeat steps 4–7 for Refund Line Items, using its own Airtable table.

Default mappable Refund fields include note, created at, processed at, and store URL.

Default mappable Refund Line Item fields include quantity, location ID, subtotal, total tax, restock type, and store URL.

When both data types are configured in the same sync alongside Orders and Order Line Items, AirPower links each Refund Line Item row back to the order and the original line item it refunds.

Load existing refund data

To backfill historical refunds into Airtable:

  1. Open the Shopify → Airtable sync
  2. Scroll to Settings
  3. Click Download Shopify data
  4. Find Refunds and set the Refunds since date to control how far back to load
  5. Click Download

Refund Line Items load as part of refund processing — there is no separate download row for them.

Ongoing sync

Once the initial backfill is done, Shopify sends new refund events to AirPower automatically. They process on the same schedule as your other Shopify → Airtable data.
