Only card payments that succeeded are eligible for a refund. Transactions list in the Client Portal ## Step 2: Initiate the refund Open the **Refund** tab in the side panel and click **Initiate refund**. Refund tab with the Initiate refund button ## Step 3: Fill in the refund details Initiate refund form * **Refund amount**: How much to send back to the customer. This can be the full amount or less (a partial refund). If the payment has already been partially refunded, you can only refund up to what's left. The form shows **Amount paid** and **Total refunded to date** so you can see how much is still available. * **Full refund**: A shortcut that fills in the refund amount for you, so you don't need to work out the remaining balance yourself. * **Reason for refund**: A required dropdown so there's always a clear, consistent record of why a refund was issued. This helps with reporting and any later queries about the transaction. * **Note**: An optional free-text field for any extra context that doesn't fit the standard reason. Useful for support teams reviewing the refund later. * **Created by**: Automatically filled in with your email address. This isn't editable, so there's always a clear record of who initiated the refund. Choose a reason from the dropdown: Reason for refund dropdown * **Customer request**: The customer asked for their money back (for example, they changed their mind or no longer want the item or service). * **Duplicate payment**: The customer was charged more than once for the same purchase. * **Fraudulent transaction**: The payment wasn't authorised by the actual cardholder. * **Order cancelled**: The order was cancelled before it could be fulfilled. * **Product not received**: The customer paid but never received the physical goods. * **Product not as described**: The customer received the product, but it didn't match what was described. * **Other**: Anything that doesn't fit the reasons above. Use the Note field to add detail. Click **Create** once you're done. ## Step 4: Confirm the request You'll see a confirmation screen letting you know the refund is on its way and will be processed within **3 to 7 business days**. From here, click **See refunds** to jump straight to the Refunds tab and check on its status. Refund request submitted confirmation screen ## Viewing all refunds The **Refunds** tab, next to Payments under Transactions, lists every refund that's been initiated, so you can check on status without opening each payment individually. You can search by Refund ID, filter, or download the list. Each row shows: * **Date**: When the refund was initiated. * **Refund ID**: A unique reference for the refund itself, separate from the Payment ID. * **Payment ID**: Links back to the original payment being refunded. * **Status**: Succeeded, Processing, or Failed. * **Refund amount** * **Type**: Full or Partial. * **Currency** Refunds tab listing all refunds ## Refund details Clicking into a row from the Refunds tab opens a **Refund details** panel with: * **Amount refunded**, its status, and the date and time it happened. * **Refund details**: The type (Full or Partial), the reason selected when it was created, and the reporter (who initiated it). * **Payment details**: A link back to the original Payment ID, along with the gross amount of that payment and the country it was made in. * **Payment method details**: The payment method category and type used (for example, Card), plus the scheme (for example, Mastercard) and issuing bank. Refund details panel This is a useful place to check exactly how much of a payment has already been refunded, especially if there have been multiple partial refunds against the same payment.
