This article is for anyone who needs to split up the payment methods used for a return or return to a completely different payment method.
Sometimes a return needs to have its payment method applied to a different method than what it was originally paid with. It might need to be split up into different payment methods. This could be for multiple reasons such as time since purchase, no cash refunds, or issues with a particular type of credit card. The most common method is to apply the refund to a store gift card. This does not have to be a physical gift card. Most stores usually make a virtual card using the customer’s phone number.
To do this pull up the invoices per this article :

Once you have pulled up the invoice you need to refund click the Return Invoice button. The sale is then turned into a return and you can remove items that are not being returned and mark the items that are not resealable. When that is complete click Refund. If there was a single payment method it will prompt you to return to that payment method. Click No so it will let you select other payment methods.
Once that confirm window is gone you will get the option to specify an amount and can then click on the payment method to switch to.
