Introduction
This article shows you how to provide customers with a refund. Many types of refund are possible. These include cash, cheque, and credit card refunds.
Creating a refund is a two-step process:
create a credit note

Issuing a refund is different from providing a customer with a credit. For more information about crediting a customer’s balance owing, see:
