Selling & the till

Return a counter purchase

Inspect an item from its original sale, record disposition and confirm the appropriate refund.

On this page

Before you begin

Use Sell → Return or Orders → Returns & refunds with the original receipt available.

Access

Staff with counter access. Company feature access and current setup requirements apply.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Select the original line

    Check purchased quantity, previous returns and remaining eligibility. Confirm the customer’s item matches the sold printing and condition.

  2. 2

    Inspect the physical return

    Record inspection and the required reason. Returned stock enters the review or quarantine flow before it can become sellable.

  3. 3

    Choose a disposition

    Restock to the correct condition SKU and bin only after inspection, or record the supported write-off decision. A refund alone is not a stock decision.

  4. 4

    Review the refund

    Use the original tender’s supported process. Confirm cash only when handed over; wait for a card-provider refund result when applicable.

  5. 5

    Verify both records

    Check the return, stock disposition and refund status. A pending card refund is different from a completed cash handover.

Keep in mind

The shop’s approved return policy governs eligibility. This guide does not determine a customer’s legal rights or a new policy.

Online channel returns and refunds have a separate flow and provider history.

If something goes wrong

Restock is blocked

Check the quarantine state, exact condition SKU, bin and remaining return quantity. Do not add opening stock to hide an unresolved return.
