Refunded WooCommerce orders now keep their refunds when you migrate them to Shopify, so payment statuses and sales reports match your WooCommerce history.

---

### 🚀 What's New

- **Refunds in WooCommerce migrations** - Each WooCommerce refund becomes a Shopify refund with its items, shipping, amount, date, and reason ([see the guide](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/15271763-store-migrations)).

### 🔧 Improvements

- **Payment status** - Orders with a partial refund now import as **Partially refunded** instead of **Paid**.
- **No side effects** - Migrated refunds don't change your inventory and don't email your customers.

### 🐛 Fixes

- **Refund notes** - Order imports now keep the `Refund: Note` of a refund that has only a `Transaction` row, such as a goodwill refund ([see the field reference](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490221-order-fields#refund-note)).
