# How to issue Store Credit

The ability to give your customers store credit can play a major role on improving their experience with returns, besides helping you reducing revenue loss. Below you'll see how you can make use of this feature in Govalo.

For further details about how to benefit from the Store Credit feature, read our blog post [Why you should be using store credit](https://govalo.com/blogs/govalo-blog/why-you-should-be-using-store-credit).

There are two ways you can issue store credit:

*   [Through the Govalo App](#2-through-the-govalo-app)
    
*   [Through Shopify Orders](#2-through-shopify-orders)
    

## Through the Govalo App

1.  In the Govalo app, go to **Store credit** and click **Issue store credit**:

3.  You will be redirected to the **Issue a store credit** page where you can enter the customer’s information.
