How to Refund a Payment in the UI

You can process refunds for transactions that are in a final state / have already been completed, except for invoice payments (where the goods are usually sent before payment).

• OFFLINE REFUND: This option is used to synchronise an already processed refund where the refund is not visible in the UI. This is commonly used if a refund has been already processed but the information of the refund never reached our servers (f.e. if the server did not respond in the necessary time-frame).

In order to reflect this in the UI you can mark the refund as CUSTOMER INITIATED in order to see that the specific customer has reversed one or more payments without your consent.

4. Once the refund was successful a message is shown indicating this:
