You can process a bottle deposit refund at the Point of Sale (POS) when a shopper returns an eligible item. Before you issue the refund, add an item that carries a bottle deposit to the basket. There are two ways to issue a bottle deposit refund: using the Bottle Refund quick action, or using the item’s detail menu. Follow the steps below for either workflow.

Issuing a bottle refund using the quick action

  1. Add the product with an associated bottle deposit to the basket.
  2. Select the Bottle Refund quick action on the cashier screen. The product converts from a sale item to a bottle refund.

Issuing a bottle refund using the item’s detail menu

  1. Add the product with an associated bottle deposit to the basket.
  2. Tap the item in the basket, then select … More.
  3. Select Bottle Refund, then Create Bottle Refund to confirm. The product converts from a sale item to a bottle refund.

Additional notes

The bottle refund always changes the last scanned item in the basket, or the item you manually select. To issue a bottle refund in the same transaction as selling a new item with a bottle deposit attached, issue the refund first, then add the new item. ⚠️ Caution - Do not use a standalone product labeled Bottle Refund to issue bottle deposit refunds. Bottle deposits are handled as item modifiers, not standalone products, in the POS. Using a Bottle Refund product misreports the store’s sales and tax data. Refer to the Sales Summary section of the Sales Overview report in Back Office for accurate tracking. Sales Summary section of the Sales Overview report in Back Office
