If you've made a mistake with a Tyro EFTPOS payment, you have the option to reverse, refund or re-assign the transaction. This guide shows you how to reverse or refund a transaction. If you need to reassign a transaction, please see our guide Reassign a Tryo Payment
In this article, we will discuss
What is the difference between a refund and reversal?
The process of applying a refund or reversal is very similar, however the end result is different.
When a reversal is applied, the amount owing on the invoice will change to reflect the amount reversed. In other words, the invoice will be owing an amount after the reversal is processed
When a refund is applied, the amount owing will remain as '$0' and a 'refund' will be recorded in the payment history. In other words, the client does not owe any further payment on the invoice.
💡 If you'll need to take payment again, you'll want to reverse a payment, not refund payment.
