If you need to process a refund or exchange for a product, service, or voucher you’ve sold, you’ll need to refund the original sale and raise a new invoice. 

Invoices cannot be edited once raised but they can be refunded or exchanged. Fresha will keep track of the original invoice and sale, and create a new negative invoice to process the refund or exchange. This ensures your historical sales are static and a new invoice is issued for your client's reference. 

Process a refund

1. Go to Sales and select Sales history.
2. Use the search bar to search by invoice or client, and then the filter options to refine your search.
3. Use the dropdown under Invoices to choose which date range you’d like to view.
4. Click on the invoice and select Refund.
5. Click on Continue to refund to process a refund for the entire sale. To process a partial refund for specific items on the invoice, click on the items you would like to keep and select Remove item.
6. Select the relevant payment method/s and Save and refund.

Refunding includes a payment transaction which means a payment processing fee applies.
