The merchant will use the DAN (Device Account Number) to process the return, just like they’d use your card number if you’d paid using that. The merchant should follow the same steps as for making a payment:
- On the device used to make the original payment, select the correct card for the refund
- If you paid using an iPhone - hold your iPhone near the terminal and authorise the return with Touch ID or passcode
- If you paid using an Apple Watch - double-click the side button and hold the face of your watch close to the terminal
To see the last 4 digits of your 16-digit DAN relating to your card in your iPhone:
- Open the app
- Tap the card
- Tap 'i'
- The Device Account Number (DAN) is displayed.
To see the last 4 digits of your 16-digit DAN for your Apple Watch:
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone
- Tap 'My Watch'
- Tap 'Wallet and Apple Pay'
- Tap your card
- The Device Account Number (DAN) is displayed.
Depending on the return and refund policies of the store, it may take several days for the return to appear on your statement. This is the same as traditional debit or credit card refunds.
