        # Duolingo Refund Store Items

Userscript for [Duolingo](https://www.duolingo.com) that allows users to cancel store item purchases and regain spent lingots.

### How To Install

1. Install the respective extension for your browser (may require browser restart):

 * Firefox: [Greasemonkey](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/)

 * Chrome/Chromium: [Tampermonkey](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en)

 * Safari: [JavaScript Blocker](http://javascript-blocker.toggleable.com/)

 * Internet Explorer: Haha!

2. Get the userscript [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexstewartja/DuolingoRefundStoreItems/master/duolingo-refund-store-items.user.js?duo).

3. When prompted, confirm installation.

Please note that [cookies](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie) are uitlized for the script to function as expected. Clearing browser data may affect experience.

### Usage

- To use the script, navigate to Duolingo's [Lingot store](https://www.duolingo.com/show_store)

- At present, the only store items that are refundable are Streak Freeze, Double or Nothing and Timed Practice.

- Once you purchase one of the above items, a Refund button will appear next to it, allowing you the convenience of regaining the lingots spent on that purchase.

### How To Uninstall

Follow the uninstall steps for the browser/extension you're using:

- Chrome/Chromium: [Tampermonkey](http://tampermonkey.net/faq.php?ext=dhdg#Q100)

- Firefox: [Greasemonkey](http://wiki.greasespot.net/Greasemonkey_Manual:Script_Management)

- Safari: [JavaScript Blocker](http://javascript-blocker.toggleable.com/)

### Future Plans

- Add a Refund All button to the store to avoid requesting refunds one at a time.

- Include other refundable items that have been excluded from the Duolingo UI (examples enclude Heart Refill, Formal Attire and Champagne Tracksuit).
