Important:
If you purchased your Retail POS system after October 25, 2023 and before April 2024, you may need to upgrade to enable exchanges. Learn more
To start processing the exchange, first locate the original purchase in your sales history. From there you can select what the customer is returning and add what they're taking instead. 

To let customers exchange purchased items:

  1. Open the POS tablet.
  2. Tap Sales History from the bottom bar.
  3. Select the relevant sale.
    Tip: You can search for a sale by order number, customer name, or customer email.
  4. Tap Actions at the top right.
  5. Tap Exchange.
  6. Use the Plus icons to select how many of each product the customer wants to exchange.

  2. Select the new product the customer wants.
    Tip: You can scan the new item with your barcode scanner or select it from the product list.
  3. Select the type of sale:
Notes:
  • You can only accept exchanges for store products purchased at a POS, not online. 
  • You cannot accept exchanges when the order was paid for with a split payment.
  • You can exchange orders paid for with a gift card only when the price of the exchanged products is the same (i.e. the customer isn't refunded or charged).

Viewing exchanges in your sales history

After you process the exchange, the original order is updated to show the changes.
