# Force Card Presentment for Refunds

This setting controls whether the original payment card must be presented for refunds.

On the Viva terminal:

1. Go to **Settings > PIN-protected settings.**
2. Under **Additional options**, toggle **Force card presentment for refunds** on/off.

#### When enabled:

Original payment card must be presented for all refunds. This provides additional security but reduces operational flexibility.

#### When disabled:

Refunds process automatically without requiring the original card. This enables remote refund processing.

{% hint style="info" %}
This allows staff to process refunds for customers who have left the venue and for delivery orders where issues are reported after driver return.
{% endhint %}
