Description

How to refund (return/credit) a transaction in Payments app version 1.01.05

What's in this article?

You can return (credit or refund) a transaction using the customer's card. If possible, use the card to process the return; however, if needed, you can manually key the card information for the refund. 

WARNING!
Credit refunds should never be completed by providing cash back to the cardholder.

To refund/credit/return a transaction
  1. Open the Payments app on your payment terminal and tap Return.
  2. If Sub Trans Types screen displays, tap to select how to process the return:
    • By Card Number, which processes the return back to the card without linking it to a transaction.
    • By RefNo., which locates the original transaction to refund the customer and processes a credit to the card that was used for the transaction. This number is not the same as the transaction number on the receipt. It is found if you use Transaction History to view transactions. Enter the reference number and tap Confirm. Tap the type of transaction (Sale, PostAuth).
  3. Enter the return amount, then press Enter or tap Confirm on the screen.
  4. Swipe, insert, or tap the credit card. The terminal will process the return and print a receipt.
  5. If you need a receipt for the customer, tear off the merchant copy of the receipt and then tap OK to print another copy. Otherwise, tear off the receipt and tap Cancel.
  6. If the card was inserted, remove the card. The return is complete.
