For the following sentence, what would the likely meaning for "返済" be?

> 製品が完成した場合、製品出荷から返済させていただけますでしょうか

I seems like this word can be used for both repayment of money and return of
goods. In this case I can't figure out which of the two meanings it is. The
context of this sentence involves making products as well as funding, so it
seems that either could apply.

Question about probable meaning of 返済 in a sentence
Going based off what context I have, the way I made sense of this was to
fragment it into two parts, particularly where the comma makes its appearance.
This helps separate the clauses. So, 製品が完成した場合、is referring to a situation in
which the goods in question will be finished, and could probably be translated
as something like, "When the product is complete..." 製品出荷から返済させていただけますでしょうか
This was one where I had to do a literal translation of the text, but I think
"Can I perhaps be repaid after the final product ships out?" is probably
better than "can receive repayment from final product shipping perhaps?"

I realize translations like this don't exactly do much in the way of helping
make sense of the structure, but this at least gives you the right idea of
what's being conveyed.

answer
I think if 製品出荷から返済, it perhaps means goods because payments of money from
shipment is strange but if 製品出荷してから返済, it perhaps means money because it means
payments after shipment.

However this sentence is unclear and need more words like 商品の返済、代金(or 負債)の返済.
