In the top right hand corner, you will see the Actions button. From the drop down, select Refund.
Note: the payment status must either be Captured or Partially captured or Partially refunded in order to perform a refund.
- Enter the amount that you would like to refund.
Note: you may perform a refund multiple times up to the full captured amount. The remaining refundable amount will be shown on the refund modal by default.
- Select Continue.
If you are performing a partial refund (where the refunded amount is less than captured amount), then the following confirmation will be prompted.
- If you are performing a full refund (refunded amount equals the full captured amount), then the following confirmation will be prompted.
- Select Confirm refund.
- If the refund is successful, then a success message will be displayed at the top of the payment details page and the status will be automatically refreshed to reflect the successful refund.
- The Refunded amount field will be updated to reflect the refunded amount.
- The Payment timeline section will have a new entry to reflect the successful refund event.
Possible reasons you can’t make a refund
At times, you may find that the Actions button is unavailable, or the refund action is greyed out. This can happen for one of the following reasons:
- Your user role doesn’t have the permission to perform a refund. Reach out to your admin user and ask him/her to assign the Operations manager role to you.
- Refund is not supported for in-store transactions.
- Refund is only possible for an online transaction that has been captured and not fully refunded.
- There may be another user attempting to perform a refund on the same transaction at the same time. Please check the transaction status before retrying.
- The refund amount is invalid (e.g. negative amount or greater than the captured amount)
- The transaction has already been refunded up to the full captured amount.
