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). 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.
