Who this template is for
Refund Request Form is built for online shops, makers and subscription brands who need to take an order, a deposit or a recurring payment without a checkout build.
- Online shops, makers and subscription brands working in e-commerce & payments.
- Teams who need to take an order, a deposit or a recurring payment without a checkout build without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing orders arriving as half-finished emails with no payment attached with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are shoppers and repeat customers — the form asks them 12 questions across 3 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of orders arriving as half-finished emails with no payment attached and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 7 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Reason for the request” is Damaged or defective item, the form dynamically exposes “Upload photos of the issue”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Reason for the request” is Damaged or defective item, the form dynamically exposes “Which item was affected?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Reason for the request” is Item arrived late, the form dynamically exposes “What delivery date were you originally given?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Reason for the request” is Wrong item received, the form dynamically exposes “What did you receive instead?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
Should this replace our formal returns policy?
No — this form is the intake step; your returns and refund policy should still govern what's eligible, and it's worth linking to that policy from the form's opening text.
What if the customer doesn't have their order number?
Consider adding a lookup by email and purchase date as a fallback, or route those submissions to a manual search queue rather than blocking submission entirely.
Can we use this for both refunds and exchanges?
Yes — the resolution question already covers replacement as an option, so you don't need a separate exchange form for most cases.
How do we handle high-value refund requests differently?
Add an internal notification rule that flags requests above a certain order value for manager review before the resolution is actioned.

Yes. You can preview and test Refund Request Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
