Orders, Payments & Refunds
Find and review an order
Search orders, understand order and payment status, review each payment, and confirm what MiniTill recorded for the sale.
Overview
- Orders is the historical and operational record of sales created by POS, MiniTill Online Ordering, supported marketplaces, and manual/import workflows.
- An order has an operational lifecycle status and a separate payment status. Always read both before taking a money-related action.
- Order detail shows the items, totals, customer/source information, individual payments, and available follow-up actions.
- For a split payment, the order can contain several separate payments. Each keeps its own amount, method, status, refund history, and remaining refundable amount.
When to use this
- Use Orders when checking whether a customer really paid, finding a receipt, investigating a split payment, linking a missed customer, or deciding whether a refund is appropriate.
Step-by-step
- Open Sell → Orders and select the correct Store or permitted aggregate scope.
- Search by order number/customer or use date, order-status, payment-status, source, and fulfilment filters.
- Open the order and verify order number, created time, Store, customer, source, fulfilment, total, Order status, and Payment status.
- Review each payment rather than assuming the whole order was paid with one method.
- Use Reprint receipt, Start refund, customer linking, or recovery actions only after confirming the correct order and payment.
Common mistakes
- Do not treat Order status CLOSED as proof that money was received; read Payment status as well.
- Do not treat PAID as proof that kitchen/fulfilment is complete; payment and operational lifecycle are intentionally separate.
- Do not refund based only on customer name or total. Confirm order number, time, Store, tender, and payment reference where applicable.
Troubleshooting
- If an order is missing, check Store scope, date range, Source, and status filters.
- If the total looks paid but the order is not marked PAID, review the individual payments for pending, failed, partial, or refunded amounts.
- If a receipt cannot be reprinted, confirm the Store has an active receipt printer configured and inspect printing status separately.
