Processing Refunds
How do I refund customers who have been mischarged
There are two dashboards involved in the operation of your microstore, 1) the FoodSpot dashboard (day-to-day, assignment of products, etc.) and 2) the financial dashboard (Cantaloupe or Apriva, based on your model).
Refunds are processed on your financial dashboard. If you do not have access to your financial dashboard, contact your finance admin and request that they process the refund.
