Our Gift Cards team has been listening to your feedback and I’m really excited to announce our newest update to Square. If you are currently using Square Gift Cards and are running the most up to date version of the Square Point of Sale app, you will now have the option to refund your customer’s purchase right onto your business’s Gift Cards!
To issue a refund on to your Square Gift Card:
To load the Gift Card, you will need to have either the physical gift card to swipe or have the 16 digit number from the back of the card to enter. Your refund will display in the under the gift card section in Total Collected section of the Sales Summary report on your Square Dashboard.
The whole amount of refund will be transferred to the Gift Card and no fees will be removed from the total.
If you have any questions please let me know! 😀
This was working for me and now it won’t let us refund to our square gift cards? Help?
This was working for me now it won't process onto the plastic gift card? when I swipe or enter the number manually it just goes right to trying to refund to Interac or VISA. HELP!
Welcome back to the Community, @dielletee -
Are you trying to refund it to the same plastic Gift Card or a new one?
I would recommend trying a new Gift Card for the refund. Please let me know if that doesn't work and I am happy to circle back.
I will keep an eye out for your reply👀.
it won't work even with a new gift card that hasn't been used yet!
Thank you for coming back and confirming that for me, @dielletee.
Right now, I am going to suggest calling into our CS Team directly. They will be able to take a deeper look into the hold up with your Gift Cards and refunds.
Phone Support is available Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm CST: 1-855-700-6000.
Thank you!
