Frequently asked questions
Promotions & Pricing
California Pricing Disclaimer
Prices marked as ‘MSRP’ reflect the manufacturer’s suggested retail price and may not represent a price at which the product was sold in the past 90 days. Discounts may reflect clearance pricing on prior colorways or seasonal inventory.
Do you offer price adjustments?
If you have purchased items that are now on sale, we will gladly offer you a one-time store credit for the difference of the item if you contact us within 7 days of the original date of purchase. Credits will be in the form of a digital gift card that may be used towards a future purchase.
We do not offer price adjustments on shipping charges.
We are unable to offer price adjustments for temporary promotions or discounts. Promotions or discounts cannot be applied retroactively to orders placed before the promotion discount was activated.
Orders & Payment
How do I check my order status?
Log in to your account to view your order history and see the current status of an order.
Can I cancel or change my order?
Once an order has been placed, it immediately enters our streamlined fulfillment process to ensure prompt delivery. This efficiency means that we are unable to cancel or make modifications to the order content, shipping address, or payment information after the order has been confirmed.
We know that life can be full of surprises, plans changes, and mistakes are made. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to modify or cancel your order, please reach out to us immediately.
Our dedicated customer service team is here to assist you, providing guidance and exploring alternative options whenever possible.
When will I be charged?
When you place your order, your form of payment will be authorized (not charged). This authorization ensures the funds for the order are available while your order prepares to ship. Once your order has shipped, your form of payment will be charged. If your order is cancelled for any reason, the authorization will automatically be removed from your account. The exact time frame for removal is determined by your card's issuing bank.
Why was my order cancelled?
Items may be removed from or cancelled in full due to inventory becoming out of stock at the time of fulfillment. If this does occur, we will send you a cancellation notification or an updated order confirmation of the items still available to ship.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept orders with Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover, Amazon Pay, PayPal, Afterpay and Matisse Footwear gift cards.
I am having issues with my payment.
If your credit card was declined, your information was entered incorrectly or there are issues with your card, please try a new payment method and contact your card's issuing bank for more information regarding the decline.
If you see multiple pending charges from us but never received an order confirmation, please note that these are authorizations allowed by your card's issuing bank to verify the funds are available. We do not charge cards until the order has been shipped and these authorizations will automatically be removed from your account. The exact time frame for removal is determined by your card's issuing bank.
Shipping & Delivery

I received a defective item, what do I do?
We guarantee our products against manufacturing defects, which are typically characterized by visible flaws or markings that deviate from what you'd expect in a new, unworn item. Please understand that normal wear and tear or personal fit preferences are not considered damage or defects.
How to Handle a Potential Defect:
If you believe your merchandise has a manufacturing defect, we're here to help. Please visit our return center and start the return process within 7 business days from the date of delivery. This allows us to promptly assess and address any concerns.
Important Note:
To maintain the fairness and efficiency of our policy, we cannot accommodate returns or exchanges for orders marked as delivered beyond the 7 business days window. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
If you have any questions or need assistance with your return, please don't hesitate to contact us. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we're here to assist you throughout the process.
What is an Instant Exchange?
If wanting to exchange for a different size or style, we offer instant exchanges to ensure the item(s) do not go out-of-stock. Instant exchanges require a $1 authorization to place the exchange order immediately. You will only be charged for the exchange order if you do not return the original order within 14 days.
If you would like to refrain from using the Instant Exchange feature, you can submit a normal exchange without the $1 authorization and your new order will be placed once your return is in-transit to our warehouse.
What is Shop Now?
Not wanting to wait for your refund before you keep shopping at Matisse? Shop Now lets you shop your favorite styles with the credit from your return with a 10% bonus!
What happens to the remaining funds if I spent less using my Shop Now credit than I did on the original order?
If you spent less than you did on your original order, the Shop Now bonus is removed from the new order and any remaining funds are refunded to the original payment method.
Why doesn't my Shop Now credit match the price of the item I am returning?
If you used a discount on your order, your credit will reflect the price you paid rather than the value of the item. In order to keep your discount in place, please move through our exchange process rather than selecting a new item through the Shop Now feature.
What is Shop Later?
After submitting a return for a refund and if your return is eligible, you will be presented the Shop Later + Bonus Credit offer on the return status page. By accepting this offer, you will convert your full refund to store credit + a 10% bonus to use later, or exchange for a new product via Shop Now.
If exchanging for a new product via Shop Now and you spent less than you did on your original order, the Shop Now bonus will be removed from the new order and any remaining funds will be refunded to the original payment method.
How long is my store credit good for?
Forever! Store credit in the form of gift cards never expire.
What happens if my exchange order was cancelled because the item was out-of-stock?
If your exchange order cannot be fulfilled due to an out-of-stock item, you will receive an email notification and a refund will be issued to the original method of payment.
Can I return or exchange items that I purchased from a different retailer?
Matisse merchandise purchased from other retailers, including department stores, must be returned to the store from which it was originally purchased and is subject to the return policy of the originating retailer.
