Purchase
A purchase happens when you buy an item licence from an author selling on Envato Market. The total price paid is made up of the licence price which is paid to the Author,, a payment for Envato’s buyer services called a Buyer Fee and you may also be charged a handling fee on your total order. Using the shopping cart you can make multiple purchases in a single checkout.
Order
An order is made up of one or more purchases. Every time you complete the checkout process on the Envato Market, we assign an order ID to all transactions that were completed as part of the checkout process.
For example if you have purchased multiple items in a single shopping cart, the item licences and buyer fees will all have the same unique order id. Your order may also be subject to a handling fee charge, depending on your payment method and order total.
Credit
From October 2nd 2018 Envato will no longer have the option to add Envato Credit to your account.
If you have existing Credit on your account you will still be able to use it to purchase items. If you don’t have enough credits for your purchase, you will be able to use a combination of credits and a PayPal/Skrill transaction. Existing credits will still expire 12 months after date of purchase.
Reversals & Refunds
A reversal happens when a purchase is refunded or reversed as a result of a chargeback. A reversal always appears on a buyer’s statement along with an accompanying credit note. For some types of refunds such as author-initiated refunds, the author’s statement will show the reversal and the related credit note.
In other cases, when the refund is marked as a ‘goodwill’ refund from Envato, the author’s statement and balance will be unchanged and the credit note will be generated from Envato to the buyer.
