How to Cancel a Meesho Order as a Seller – Step-by-Step

Follow these steps to cancel an order as a seller on Meesho:

1. Log In to Your Meesho Supplier Account

To begin the cancellation process, you first need to log in to your Meesho seller account. Here’s how:

Open the Meesho Seller App or visit the Meesho Seller Website.
Enter your login credentials (username and password) to access your supplier dashboard.

2. Go to Your Order Management Section

Once logged in, navigate to the Order Management section on your dashboard. This section contains a list of all your orders, including pending, confirmed, and delivered orders.

From the dashboard, click on the “Orders” tab.
You’ll see a list of your recent orders and their statuses.

3. Identify the Order to Be Cancelled

Find the Order: Browse through the list to find the specific order that needs to be canceled. You can search by order number, customer name, or date of order.
Check Order Status: Before proceeding with the cancellation, ensure that the order hasn’t already been shipped or delivered. Once an order has been shipped, you may need to go through a different process (like returning the product).

4. Select the Order and Click on ‘Cancel’

Once you have identified the order to cancel:

Click on the Order: Open the details of the specific order by clicking on it.
Cancel the Order: If the order is eligible for cancellation, you’ll see an option to “Cancel Order”. Click on it to initiate the cancellation process.

At this point, you will be asked to provide a reason for the cancellation. Common reasons include:

Product is out of stock
Incorrect product information
Order error or mistake

Make sure to select the most appropriate reason for the cancellation.

5. Confirm Cancellation

Once you’ve selected the cancellation reason, Meesho will ask you to confirm the cancellation. After confirmation, the order will be marked as canceled in your order list.

Cancellation Notification: Meesho will notify the customer about the cancellation, and the order status will change to “Cancelled”.
Refund Process: If the customer has already made a payment, Meesho will initiate the refund process for the customer.

6. Track the Status of the Cancellation

After canceling the order, keep an eye on the order status to make sure everything goes through smoothly.

Cancelled Orders: The status will show “Cancelled” once the cancellation is confirmed.
Refunds: If the order was prepaid by the customer, you can check the refund status in the “Payments” section of your dashboard to ensure the customer receives their refund promptly.

What Happens After You Cancel an Order?

Once you cancel an order, Meesho will notify the customer and initiate a refund if necessary. However, cancellations can affect your seller metrics, so it’s important to handle them properly:

Customer Feedback: A canceled order may affect your customer satisfaction ratings. Ensure that you provide valid reasons for cancellations and resolve customer issues quickly.
Impact on Seller Rating: Frequent cancellations can negatively impact your seller rating on Meesho. To minimize cancellations, make sure your inventory is well-managed, your listings are accurate, and your supply chain is reliable.
Return Process: If the item has already been shipped before cancellation, you’ll need to manage the return process. Meesho provides a return and refund system to handle such cases.

When Can You Not Cancel a Meesho Order?

You can’t cancel an order if:

The order has already been shipped or delivered.
The customer has initiated the cancellation themselves.

If an order is already in transit or has been delivered, you may need to work with the customer to process a return or exchange.

Best Practices to Avoid Order Cancellations

While cancellations are sometimes unavoidable, here are some best practices to minimize the need for cancellations:

Accurate Inventory Management: Ensure your stock levels are updated regularly to avoid selling products that are out of stock.
Clear Product Descriptions: Provide detailed and accurate product descriptions to avoid errors in customer orders.
Quick Response: Respond to customer queries and issues promptly to prevent cancellations due to delayed communication.
Timely Shipping: Process orders quickly and efficiently to avoid shipping delays that could lead to cancellations.
