Tender Refund Failure

During the refund process, an electric tender failure may occur for many different reasons. If the electronic tender does fail during a refund, the Tender Refund Failure prompt will be displayed. On the prompt two options will be available for you to choose from:

Refund with Cash - This will allow you continue the current refund, but using cash instead of the transaction being refunded to the credit card. This option will be available by default on a refund tender failure, even if the current location does not have the cash tender option enabled.

Try Again - This will retry the electronic tender again to see if it will process. This process can be repeated multiple times to see if the tender will process without failing.

The Tender Refund Failure prompt can not be dismissed or canceled. The only option is to select one of the two options displayed.

Step by Step Summary

On electric tender failure for a refund:

  1. Select the Cash Refunds button to continue with a cash refund
