Issue a refund
Updated July 4, 2026
Refunds live in the order's Order actions menu on the Manage tab — the Issue refund action. It's available on paid card orders (Stripe or Square processed) and only to workspace owners and admins: team members can work the queue, but they can't move money. Cash orders are refunded from the drawer at the register, not through this action.
- Open the order in Manage and choose Issue refund.
- Refund everything, or enter a partial amount (a comped item, a missing side).
- Card refunds go back to the customer's original card. A full refund marks the order refunded, and — for an order that isn't already completed — also moves it to Cancelled (a refunded order you've already completed stays completed in your history, just marked refunded).
- Cash orders — there's no card to refund; hand the cash back from the drawer. See How refunds affect your balance for the money mechanics.
- Safety — refunds are idempotent (a double-click can't refund twice) and every refund is written to an audit log with who did it and how much.
