How to Process a Refund on the Facilipay Register
You can issue refunds directly from your POS using the Facilipay app on your register device (such as a PAX terminal or compatible POS). A refund reverses a payment back to the customer’s payment card or their gift card balance depending on how the original transaction was made.
Before You Begin
✔ Ensure the Facilipay app is installed and active on your register device (e.g., PAX, Clover).
✔ Have the original payment method (card or gift card) available if you’re refunding to it.
✔ Network connectivity must be active so the refund can be processed.

Open the Facilipay App
On your register device’s home screen, launch the Facilipay app. -
Select “Refund”

Choose Payment Card

Once processed, the device will show a confirmation screen. You also have the option to print or save a receipt for the customer.

Open the Facilipay app and tap Refund.

Select Gift Card when asked whether you’re refunding to a gift card or payment card.

Scan the gift card’s QR code, or manually enter the card number.

Tips & Best Practices

Full vs Partial Refunds: Some systems may require full refunds for certain tenders (e.g., cashless transactions) — check your configuration.
-
Receipt for Records: Always print or save a receipt for documentation and customer reference.
After the Refund
Once the refund is processed:
-
The customer will see the refunded amount on their payment card or gift card balance.
-
Keep the refund receipt in your records for reconciliation and reporting.
