When we cancel and refund the order from the Square sandbox dashboard, we are getting the following error:

Order ID: EQCi91qJND52D2xBhOQOUxKYkrKZY

The order is getting canceled, but we are still receiving the above error. Additionally, the earned loyalty points are not being removed.

  1. What is the reason for this error?
  2. As per the dev doc, earned loyalty points should be removed when we refund the order. Could you please confirm this?

At this time the ability to cancel and refund orders through the sandbox Dashboard isn’t currently available. We’re constantly working to improve our features based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your request to the API product team. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks @Bryan-Square, What would be the behavior in production? Will the earned loyalty points be removed when we refund the order? Could you please confirm this?

If you use the Refunds API to refund a Square order, Square automatically adjusts the loyalty points. For more information, see Customer and Refunds in Square Loyalty FAQ. :slightly_smiling_face:
