Question: Can I issue a refund for transactions made with different payment providers and methods?
Answer: Yes, the refund processing feature supports transactions made through multiple payment providers, such as Stripe, Authorize.net, NMI, and PayPal, as well as various payment methods, including Google Pay, Apple Pay, and card payments. You can manage refunds for all these from one central platform.
Question: Can I refund a transaction to a different credit card?
Answer: No. Payment industry standards (PCI compliance) require that refunds be sent back to the original payment method used. If a customer’s card has expired or the account is closed, the bank will usually handle the internal transfer to their new card or issue them a check.
Question: Can I issue multiple partial refunds for a single transaction?
Answer: Yes. You can issue as many partial refunds as needed, provided the total sum of all refunds does not exceed the original transaction amount. Once the full amount has been reimbursed across several partial refunds, the system will prevent further refund attempts.
