# Refunding a Deposit or Payment on an Open Sale

If a deposit was collected for an appointment, you may need to refund the deposit if:

- The appointment was canceled.

- A membership, package, or discount applied during checkout resulted in a **negative **remaining balance.

When refunding deposits or payments on open sales, you can:

- Refund to the original payment method.

- Refund to the client’s account balance. This allows you to [apply the deposit to another appointment or sale](/learn/use-a-clients-account-balance-as-a-payment-method/).
