Orders, Payments & Refunds
Refund a split-payment order
Return money against the exact original tender rows on a sale that used more than one payment method.
Overview
- A split sale has several independent Payment rows, so there is no single universal refund button that safely knows which tender should receive money back.
- Each Payment has its own amount, refundedAmount, status, provider/reference, and remaining refundable value.
- The order's PARTIALLY_REFUNDED or REFUNDED summary is derived after those individual payment refunds.
When to use this
- Use this whenever the original sale used two or more tenders, such as Cash + Windcave or Gift Card + Card.
Step-by-step
- Open the order's refund details and list every original Payment row.
- Agree which original tender(s) should be refunded and by how much.
- Refund each selected Payment independently, never exceeding its remaining refundable amount.
- For provider Card rows, wait for provider completion before moving on if the outcome is uncertain.
- Recheck the order-level Payment status and total remaining refundable value after each action.
Common mistakes
- Do not refund the full order value against the first Payment if that Payment originally covered only part of the sale.
- Do not forget a previously refunded amount when calculating what remains.
- Do not assume refunding one row automatically refunds the other tenders.
Troubleshooting
- If the requested amount is too high, compare it with that individual Payment's Remaining value, not the order total.
- If the order remains PARTIALLY_REFUNDED after one refund, inspect the net value still held across the other Payment rows.
