Item returned, but no refund

I purchased an item using my Apple wallet, cash account balance, but never received a refund after I had returned the item.

Hi, in my experience, returns from Target take 10 to 14 days. Apple does not participate in returns as I outlined above. Target returns the funds via transfer from their bank to your bank. The funds transfer can be tracked via the Acquirer Reference Number (ARN). Some merchants print the ARN on the return receipt. Otherwise contact Target for the ARN and give the number to your bank to track.

The merchant controls the refund process and therefore the time required to process the refund request, issue the refund and transfer funds to your account is up to the merchant. Is Apple the merchant or is the merchant another business?

Thank you for your reply. This was at Target. I returned a pair of pants that I bought using Apple Pay on 24 September. This was at their point of sale register. It’s now been about four days
