If they are paying for everything with a credit card and you process the card again on the recalled ticket, the client will be charged twice! Just create a new separate transaction for the shampoo.

12 Envision Credit Card Processing With EMV Helpful Credit Card Processing Tips Voiding/Refunding a Ticket Once a transaction has been processed and an authorization/approval code has been provided, you can not simply void the transaction. The card must be swiped or manually entered (hand keyed) again to process a void/refund of the transaction. The customer will see both a positive transaction and a refund on their credit card statement. When looking at their Credit Card Statement online, authorizations post immediately and refunds usually take 3-5 business days to post. When processing a refund, the Envision software will provide an "Approved" message but there will be no approval code. Question if a transaction went through? (Reporting) If a transaction is swiped/processed but you are not sure if it went through or not, rather than simply swiping the card a second time, go to the Accounting menu in Envision, select "Print Credit Card Batch Report" and enter the current date. You may view all transactions in real time to see if the transaction has been approved. This will avoid transactions being processed twice. Customers Would Like to Purchase Additional Products In a scenario where a person pays for a service and the transaction has already been completed (approval code received), then decides to purchase some additional products, there are a few options available. To avoid any issues, the easiest option is to simply create an entirely new ticket and process as normal.
