A completed POS sale can be refunded in full or in part.

Refund a sale

In Point of Sale, find the sale in the location’s recent sales and refund it:
  • Amount — up to what is left to refund on the sale.
  • Refund to
    • Original payment — a card payment is refunded back to the card it was paid with.
    • Cash — you hand the customer cash, and it is recorded as cash taken out of the location’s drawer, so the drawer’s expected cash stays right.
  • Items (optional) — which items are coming back.
  • Restock — put the returned items back into stock at the location’s inventory location.
  • Reason (optional) — kept with the refund.

What happens

  • The refund is recorded on the sale and on its order in Orders, and the order’s payment status becomes Refunded or Partially refunded — the same way an online refund updates an order.
  • A card refund is returned to the customer’s card; when it appears on their statement depends on their bank.
  • A cash refund appears in the drawer’s summary when you close it — see Cash drawer.
