Exploring the refund management interface

Access to the Refunds menu requires the View refunds user right to be available in the permissions list of the user account.

Warning:

Only an authorized person can access the Refunds tab.

Refunds must always be made via the Transactions tab.

The tab has been set up to allow the merchant:
  • To have a global and quick overview of your current, pending or completed refunds.
  • To understand the refund request statuses, especially in case of an insufficient balance (due to insufficient sales) for covering the amounts to be refunded.

Warning:

However, the Refunds tab is not yet available to Marketplace customers.

As soon as the connection is established, the merchant is informed about the number of refunds that require attention because they are in pending status (or in progress).

This number is shown on the right side of the Refunds menu.

Example:

Once the Refunds menu is displayed, the merchant is provided with two types of important information:
  1. Available balance

    The balance amount is displayed by default and clicking the the icon provides you with all the data necessary for “reconciling” this amount.

    The available balance is calculated according to the following formula:

    (A - B - C) + D + E

    (A = Net sales, B = Chargebacks, C = Refunds in progress, D = Other transactions, E = Current holdback).

    As long as the balance does not allow it, the request for refund status remains Waiting to be processed.

  2. Refund table

    By default, the In progress and Waiting to be processed filters are applied as soon as the table is displayed. You can delete them to apply other statuses, if needed.

    There can be 5 refund statuses:
    • Processing: the refund is taken into account and is being processed. The next status is Executed.
    • Executed: the refund has been validated for returning the funds to the cardholder.
    • Waiting to be processed: the available balance is not sufficient for making the refund or or validation by the operations department is required.
    • Rejected: the operations service has rejected the refund request.
    • Cancelled: th refund request is no longer taken into account and will remain non-executable.

    Each status is identifiable by a color code (blue for In progress orange for Waiting to be processed, etc.).

    When needed, icons with tooltips appear to provide more details on the status:
