Process refunds

To process refunds, follow Shopify's guide.

🚧

Do not process refunds from the Peach Payments Dashboard or Console. The Dashboard and Console cannot inform Shopify of the refund, so although you've refunded the customer, Shopify does not know that the customer has received a refund.

When the refund is complete, you can view the refunded transaction in the Peach Payments Dashboard or Console.

To stop accepting payments using Peach Payments, you can deactivate and, optionally, uninstall the Peach Payments app:

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Deactivate Peach Payments.
4. In the pop-up that appears, click Deactivate Peach Payments. This deactivates Peach Payments and removes the payment method from your store. If you think you might reactivate the payment method later, you can stop at this point.
5. To uninstall the Peach Payments app, click Uninstall Peach Payments.
6. In the pop-up that appears, click Uninstall Peach Payments.

This uninstalls the Peach Payments app and you can no longer accept payments through Peach Payments.
