This article will show you how to put through a refund of a Cardless Checkout sale, refunding back to the card that was originally used in the sale.
Sales can only be refunded to a stored card where the original sale was processed using a stored card. If the original sale was processed using another payment type, then you will need to refund using another payment type.
Go to Manager > Sales, then use the filters at the top of your screen to find the sale you wish to refund.
Once you've found the sale, you can use one of the methods below to process the refund.
Single-Click the sale > Click Refund.
Using the Void Option Instead
Refunding a sale will not undo an appointment. If you need to edit/remove the appointment associated with the sale, you use the Void button to undo the transaction completely and put the appointment back in an incomplete state. The appointment can then be removed if necessary. Any appointment deposits paid through PhorestPay will also automatically be refunded to the client when you Void the sale.

Stored Card No Longer on Client's Profile
