How Does Route Process Refunds or Reorders? Refunds: When refunding an item, Route covers the subtotal of the order. Shipping costs, taxes, and the Route premium are not included for merchants who do not have Automatic Issue Resolution (AIR), also known as Resolution via Platform (RVP).

Reorders: Route will reorder the items, depending on in-stock availability. Unavailable items will be refunded. Route will cover the cost of any reorders including shipping and taxes.
