Refund Policy
Last updated: September 2026
1. Two Kinds of Refunds
Nivo handles two separate money flows. Plan subscriptions are fees a seller pays to Nivo. Buyer orders are payments a buyer makes to a seller for goods. Each follows its own rules below.
2. Plan Subscriptions
Monthly, bi-annual and annual plans renew automatically until cancelled. Cancelling stops the next renewal. The current billing period stays active until its end date, and no partial refund applies for unused days in that period.
First time buyers of a paid plan may request a full refund within 7 days of the first charge where the plan features were not used to process live orders. Renewal charges are refundable within 48 hours of renewal where no live orders were processed in that period. To request, contact support from the dashboard with the account email and plan name. Approved refunds return to the original payment method within 5 to 10 business days.
3. Buyer Orders for Physical Goods
Refunds for goods sit with the seller, since the sales contract is between buyer and seller. Buyers who need a refund for a damaged, wrong or missing item should contact the store directly first using the phone, email or WhatsApp details on the store.
Sellers on Nivo are expected to:
- State delivery timelines clearly on the store before checkout.
- Accept returns for items that arrive damaged, wrong or never delivered.
- Resolve refund requests within 7 days of receiving them.
4. When Nivo Steps In
Where a buyer paid online and the seller is unresponsive for 14 days, Nivo may review the order, payment records and message history, then refund the buyer from held funds where available and debit the seller wallet. Sellers with repeated unresolved refund complaints risk suspension under the Terms of Service.
5. Pay on Delivery
Pay on delivery orders involve no online charge, so no online refund applies. Returns of goods paid on delivery are settled directly between buyer and seller.
6. Payouts and Withdrawals
Completed withdrawals to a verified bank account cannot be reversed through Nivo. Where a withdrawal fails at the bank, the amount returns to the Nivo wallet automatically and the seller is notified by email.
7. How to Request
Sellers request plan refunds through dashboard support. Buyers request goods refunds from the store first, then escalate to Nivo support with the order number, store name and payment reference where the seller does not respond.
