What About Memberships, Courses, and Digital Downloads?
This article covers physical product returns. Different flows apply to:
- Monthly or yearly memberships — you don't "return" a subscription. You cancel it and keep access through the end of the period you've already paid for. See Managing Your Subscriptions.
- One-time course purchases — refund policies vary by creator. Reach out to them directly if you need a refund on a course.
- Digital downloads (ebooks, music, files) — once delivered, digital goods are usually non-refundable. Check the creator's refund policy or contact them.
