A refund credit note records money you are giving back to a customer against an invoice they already paid. It is the paperwork that keeps the refund clean in your books: the invoice stays, and the credit note shows exactly what was returned and why.
This template opens with itemised lines. Reference the paid invoice, list the amount being refunded, note the method, and download a PDF credit note to send with the refund.
