Refunding with card present or card not present
If the card used on the original purchase was a credit, debit, or non-Interac (Canada only) card type, the refund will be processed automatically and will not require a card to be presented to the payment terminal.
If the card used on the original purchase was an Interac (Canada only) card type, ensure the same card is present for the refund. If the same card is not present, you will need to process the refund using a different payment type.
