When an item is exchanged, NRG Fast Cash adds it to the transaction with a negative quantity and dollar value. A new item is then added to the transaction and any balance or refund owing is calculated. If there is no price difference between the items, no balance is owed – if there is a price difference, the remaining balance must be tendered to a payment method, as normal.
Exchanges can be processed in several ways – refer to the below sections for details.
[NOTE: Positive balances represent how much the customer owes – negative balances represent the amount to be refunded. If Local Authorization is configured and you don’t have permissions to perform the exchange, a prompt will open – a user who can authorize exchanges (e.g. Manager, Supervisor, etc.) must enter their login credentials to proceed.]
