Configure Refund Limits by Tender

You can enter maximum refund amounts for each tender type that you accept. For example, you can set a one limit for cash refunds and set a different limit for refunds posted to a credit card. Setting maximum refund amounts can limit the loss you might incur from a fraudulent refund.

In addition to every tender type having a different refund limit, you can set maximum amounts for Return with Receipt and Return without Receipt.

You can also set minimum refund amounts. Usually applicable to credit card tenders, setting a minimum can prevent giving refunds for amounts that are less than the processing fee charged by your payment gateway.

If a cashier attempts to provide a refund in a tender with limits that are less than the minimum or more than the maximum, the cashier must get a manager’s or administrator’s approval.

If a manager or an operator with an administrative role is handling the refund, they can tap Yes at the prompt and proceed with the transaction. Otherwise, the following appears:

  8. If desired, enter a Tender Maximum Validated Refund to set a higher limit for a Return with Receipt refund.

  9. Tap Done when complete.
