Handling refunds accurately ensures inventory levels and sales data remain correct. It also helps maintain positive customer relations by providing a smooth return process.
Tips

- Use the Same Payment Method: Refunds should ideally be processed using the same payment method as the original purchase for consistency.
- Provide a Receipt When Requested: Offering a refund receipt adds a layer of transparency and reassurance for customers.
