Many stores offer an "All Sales Final" return policy, but if your store offers a more generous return policy, you can process returns from the Ricochet POS.
! IMPORTANT !
If the consignor for the product has not yet been paid out for the sale the return is simple. The product simply goes back in stock and the consignor's pending payout gets reversed until the items sells again. However, if the consignor has already been paid out for the sold item, returning an item will return it as Store Inventory. The store is then responsible for reselling the product and will keep the profits of the entire item, instead of conducting another commission split.
In order to conduct a return, you must have a Sales ID.
βSales IDs are found on all sales receipts.If the customer doesn't have a receipt and you would still like to process a return, Sales IDs can be found in Sales Summary and Sales Detail Reports by looking up the product and expanding its details.

NOTE: Refunding To A Credit Card:
Integrated Processing: Your normal prompt will display. Please inform customers that returns to a credit card take up to 5 business days to be returned to their account.
If you are using integrated payments with Gravity and a customer has purchased and returned an item within the same business day, please call us. The product can still be returned, but there is a separate, more complex process that must be followed.
Non-integrated Processing: Follow your credit card processor's instructions for returning the customer's money through their card.
