Thank you for the clarification, @raffie613. Let's explore the Merchant Service Center or process a refund via check or cash.
When refunding card transactions, you'll want to either swipe the card or enter its card information. Since you currently don't have these details, please reach out to your customer and request their credit card number so you can complete the process.
Alternatively, you can issue refunds directly from the Merchant Service Center. Transactions within six months can be refunded via QuickBooks Payments without entering card details.
In the event a transaction is older than six months, you can issue a cash or check refund.

Welcome to the Community Forum, raffie613.
You can issue a refund in QuickBooks Desktop through the Credit Memos/Refunds menu. Follow these steps:




QuickBooks will apply the refund to your customer’s credit or debit card when it settles your latest batch of transactions at 3:00 PM PT daily. Keep in mind that it may take your customer 7 to 10 business days to see the refunded credit, depending on their bank.
