Select Edit order
Find the Order Actions block on the edit order screen, and select Yoco: Sync Refunds from the dropdown list

Once completed, the order status will change to Refunded, and the refund amount will match what's displayed on your Yoco App.
Note: This process is only necessary when managing refunds. Regular payment transactions synchronise automatically between platforms.
