Process a card-present refund under PCI controls
Reinforce the PCI DSS refund order from payments training. The original auth is located before any credit is issued, and PAN is never written down.
- Authenticate the cardholder.
- Match the original receipt.
- Locate the original authorization in the terminal or POS.
- Initiate a refund to the same tender.
- Do not issue cash unless policy allows.
- Keep the full PAN off paper, chat, and email.
- Print or email only the masked receipt.
- Have a second person review refunds over the store threshold.
- Store the signed refund slip in the secure packet.
