Refund Policy
Refund Processing
Refunds are always issued to the original method of payment.
Payment-Specific Refunds
For AfterPay, Klarna, or ShopPay Installments: Once your return has been processed, Steve Madden will notify AfterPay/Klarna/ShopPay. They will then refund you the installments paid up until that point and cancel or adjust the remaining payments.
For Cash App Pay: Cash App Pay transactions originating from the stored balance in the app will be refunded to the customer’s Cash App account balance. Cash App Pay transactions originating from a linked debit card or bank account will be refunded to the original card or bank account. It can take up to 10 business days for Cash App to receive the refund.
Gift Returns
If the item was purchased on SteveMadden.com, you may contact Customer Service and they will issue a ‘Gift Exchange’ return authorization. Once the item is received back, a Promotional Code equal to the amount paid for the merchandise will be emailed to the gift recipient so they may purchase a different item on SteveMadden.com.
Exchange Policy
No Traditional Exchanges
Steve Madden does not do exchanges. Their reasoning is simple: their products are in high demand and if you send back the item you want to exchange, there is no guarantee they will have what you want at that time.
Exchange Process Alternative
Steve Madden suggests you:
- Place a new order for the style, color, size you want
- Call customer service at 1-888-SMADDEN to get a return authorization and a prepaid FedEx shipping label to send the original item back as a return
- When you call customer service, have your new order number handy so they can file the return as an exchange
- A full refund will be issued once the merchandise is received at the warehouse
