thread Re: Activity log for transactions in Hardware Setup & Troubleshooting

Why is my refund showing as a separate line item to my transaction in the app's Transaction tab?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: refund duplicate.

Hi, I went to issue a part refund. Asked to select the transaction > enter custom amount > complete the refund and now it shows on smartphone that I have issed the original total transaction PLUS the custom transaction. How can the platform be so dysfunctional?

Activity log for transactions

Hi, I'm mystified why I can't find an Acivity log for my recent transactions.
Just like any bank statement or that I have on the home page of PayPal.

Thanks for reaching out, @Flemgooz!

Since you've located the Transactions page within your Square app, I've merged your additional post with this thread to keep all your feedback in one place.

Apologies for any confusion. The Square app will display your original transaction and refund as separate line items once a refund has been completed. In this case, you're seeing the original transaction from February 13, 2025 ($) and the partial refund issued on February 16, 2025 (-$).

If you have suggestions for improving this functionality, I encourage you to visit our Ideate Board to check if there’s an existing feature request that you can add your support to.
