Refunds are an essential part of maintaining great customer service and accurate accounting in your restaurant operations. With FirePAY Restaurant POS, processing a refund is fast, secure, and fully traceable — ensuring that both customers and management have a clear record of each transaction.
This guide walks you through the refund process step by step.
Step 1: Select the Order
From the FirePAY POS Home Screen, locate the transaction you wish to refund.
You can do this by searching through recent orders or using the Recall Order function to find the correct sale.
Once you’ve found the order, select it to open the transaction details.
Step 2: Press “Return”
On the order screen, tap
➡️ Return
This activates the refund process for the selected transaction.
Step 3: Choose the Original Payment Method
Select the payment method that was originally used for the transaction.
If the customer paid with a credit or debit card, the same card must be present to complete the refund.
This step ensures secure and accurate transaction reversals while complying with processor requirements.
Tip: For cash or gift certificate refunds, always verify the amount and receipt before completing the transaction.
Step 4: Enter the Reason for Return
The system will prompt you to enter a reason for the refund — such as:
