Refund from restricted Apple Cash account

I recently got a refund approved for something, it's a lot of money and I bought it using my Apple Cash account. But it ended up restricted a few days later, and I'm not willing to call to unrestrict it since it's a lot of time (I've heard it's taken people hours only for them to say they can't do anything about it.) Am I still able to recieve a refund or would I have to contact them to send the money somewhere else? Where would the money go if not?

If your Apple Cash account is restricted or locked - Apple Support

seems you should work to remove the restriction. It may be because of the large amount you spent or failed identity verification.


any funds should still refund to the account but you’ll only be able to transfer to your bank. I cannot imagine a merchant would refund other than to the original payment.
