Where the money goes
Card payments taken online through Stripe are refunded to the card. Cash, card terminal, QR and bank payments are recorded as refunded, and you hand the money back yourself. Products that track stock go back into stock.
Refund requests from members
Members can ask for a refund on an order from the member app. Their requests appear under Refund requests. Set each one to Under review, Approved or Rejected with a note and press Save review. Approving records your decision only: make the refund itself from the order.
What your customers see
- A receipt that shows the refund, and the order marked Refunded or Partially refunded in their history.
Common problems

- Refunds at POS is off. Switch it on in Settings > Features, or refund from the order page under Orders instead.
- It says the order cannot be refunded.
- Only completed, paid orders with money left to refund can be refunded. A fully refunded or cancelled order has nothing left to give back.
- A cashier is asked for a manager passcode.
- Your business has a manager passcode set in Settings > Team & roles. A manager types it to approve the refund.
