Apple Pay refund for a card/account no longer on apple pay

I was just issues a refund from Fanatics.com I told them I used Apple Pay but that I no longer have that debit card or bank account. They told me that my refund would just go into my Apple Pay account. I looked online for a similar question but found nothing for this issue. I want to know if this is what will actually happen? I do have the Apple Cash digital card will it just be refunded to that?

If the account was in good standing when closed, the bank will return the funds or refuse acceptance. Funds are then returned to send (merchant) and return must be performed again.


If the closed account has an outstanding balance due, bank will apply funds to balance due and return any unneeded portion to merchant.


Merchant will generally receive funds in 5 to 7 business days after receiving bank refuses transfer of funds.


I’d advise merchant of the return so that the refund can be properly processed.


Apple and Apple Pay aren’t involved. Refunds are directly between merchants bank and your bank (closed account). Apple and Apple Pay are not aware when refunds are made, unless Apple is the merchant.
