Depending on your store’s return policy, you may allow customers to return items only for store credit, rather than for a cash or credit card refund. If this is the case:
- A customer card must be associated with the return invoice. This enables OnSite to store the credit in the right account. If the original sale was processed as a walk-in you can still add a customer to the return invoice.
- If you have forgotten to add the customer to the return invoice, you can do it later in Browser mode.
In the POS
- In the search bar click the Documents icon and scan the barcode on the customer’s printed receipt or invoice. OnSite automatically generates the return invoice. If you don't have a receipt or invoice with a barcode:
- You can manually enter the invoice ID and click Return to generate a return invoice.
- You can click the list in the right corner of the search field to display a list of today's invoices.
- You can display historical invoices by exiting to Browser mode.
- If you are giving a refund for store credit, you must associate a customer with the invoice.
- On the return Invoice remove the products that are not being returned by selecting the line item and pressing Delete. If any products are serialized, enter the serial numbers in the s/n field below the line item.
- Click Check Out to go to the payment screen.
- Choose the payment method the customer originally used. If you are giving a refund for store credit, click Finish, as this completes the sale and stores the credit on file.
- In the confirmation window, select the original payment to refund. If you are refunding to a credit card, you need the card or card details to process the refund. If the original payment has not been settled with your processor, most payment processors require you to click Void instead of Refund in the processing window.
- Click Finish to generate a return receipt.
