How to perform a cashless payout to a card with readyPay
With readyPay, you can also make cashless payouts directly to a credit or debit card – even without a previous payment via readyPay. This is particularly helpful when a customer, for example, returns a deposit and wants to receive the amount on their card instead of in cash. In this guide, we will show you how to set up the credit note and process it in the POS.
Note: This article covers cashless payouts to a card without reference to a previous payment (e.g., for deposit returns). If you instead want to reverse a readyPay card payment that has already been made, you can find all the information in this article.

Before you can perform a cashless payout to a card, you must enable the "Refund to card (credit note)" function in the Admin Interface.
Step-by-step:
