How do I void or refund a payment?

This article outlines how to locate and void or refund a payment.

 

Refund vs Void: What’s the Difference?

  • Void

    • Cancels a payment before it settles

    • Typically avoids processing fees

    • Not always available, depending on settlement status and payment method

  • Refund

    • Returns funds after settlement

    • May take several business days to complete

    • Required once a payment has settled

If a Void option is unavailable, the payment has likely already settled and must be refunded instead.

How to void/refund from the all transaction table

  2. Navigate to the transaction details (3 dots to the very right of the transaction) and Click Refund (or void if the transaction has not settled yet).

  3. Enter the refund amount ( you will be able to refund up to the full amount of the transaction, but not more). Confirm the Refund.

  4. You will see a debit from the client that corresponds to the refund amount (Only applicable to refunds, not voids).
