Important: If the person being refunded is not the original customer who placed the order (i.e. gift recipient), enter that person's information in the second tab.

The payment method screen displays the number of days since the original purchase and itemizes all adjustments, taxes and total refund to be paid to the customer.

Check the box for the refund method type and enter the amount of the refund in the corresponding amount field.

Notes:

•  The credit card refund type is only available if the original purchase was made using a credit card.

•  Amazon returns are processed like any other return by selecting the Amazon payment type, however, you need to manually update Amazon Seller Central of any returns.

• PayPal refunds require that you complete the actual refund payment from the PayPal website. From the CORESense Return Wizard, the PayPal option is selected and is flagged with a "Refund Later" (System Settings > Returns Managements > Refund Timing) status so that after the refund is completed within PayPal website, the Refund Later button can be selected for the Return ID and adjusted against the order.

• CORESense does not allow you to issue customer credit on a return if the default customer is assigned to the return. You must select a customer to issue the credit to. The customer credit option does not display on the checkout screen unless there is an assigned customer account.

•  Upon return of an order with a DEBIT only payment, the Return Wizard only allows for a PIN debit type return, NOT Credit/Debit type return.
