Refund Start

To perform a Refund transaction, click the icon <img src="/files/-MZdWMC2HcTtubRulAbd" alt="" data-size="original"> in the `Transaction settings` menu.

![](/files/-MZdL9lqHwLFbaulOXXO)

Depending on the Acquiring Service Provider’s terms, different refund flow are possible:

* by entering a Reference Retrieval Number (RRN).
* by tapping a client’s card.

A combined refund approach is also possible, based on the two methods mentioned above.

Refund. RRN entering

After selecting the `Refund` function, the Application will ask you to enter a RRN. Enter it and continue the transaction.

{% hint style="info" %}
The RRN is indicated in the customer's receipt.
{% endhint %}

On the Amount entry screen, type in the refund amount and confirm the transaction by clicking the `Refund` button.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The amount cannot exceed the purchase amount from the payment transaction.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
In the combined approach to refund, the Application will ask you to enter a RRN before card tapping. Enter it and continue the transaction.
{% endhint %}

When the request to bring a card appears on the screen, ask the customer to tap a :credit\_card: card or a :mobile\_phone: mobile device on which the payment application is installed to your :mobile\_phone: device, to the location of the NFC module.

For more information about the correct card tapping, see the [this page](/guide/app-guide/payments.md#where-to-bring-the-payment-card).

Refund Result

Once successful processing of the transaction and confirmation of the refund by your Acquiring Service Provider received, the Application will offer to send/display the receipt to your client.

![](/files/-MZdaYZUQXKRqgPRM7Bf)

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Application's receipt is not a fiscal receipt.
{% endhint %}

If the client does not need a receipt, you can start a new transaction by clicking the `New purchase` button.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If the processing of `Refund` transaction has failed, the purchase cannot be considered as canceled. In this case, we recommend to try again or return the money to the customer in cash.
{% endhint %}
