How to Refund a Paid Order
Note: For credit card payments, if it has been less then 24 hours and the transaction has not yet settled, you can use the 'void' link on the order detail page.
- To do a refund, you first need to get to your customer's account profile. Go to Customers > Manage Customers and tick the 'account' option.
- Use filters to search for the account. (The account ID is the most exact search filter, but you can narrow things down with fields like the company name as well.)
- Click Search.
- Click on the account name to jump to your customer's account profile.
- Click on the Accounting tab of the customer profile. (Not the menu option on the top of Orderbot.)
- At this step, you'll be on the 'invoices' tab by default. Find your order and click the red + sign to refund it.
- Fill each field and click Submit to process the refund.
-
Total - The total amount that you wish to refund. (If you enter a total that is less than the original payment amount, you will only partially refund it.)
-
Payment Method - Select a payment method from the dropdown menu. For credit card refunds, it will return to the card for which the original payment was made. (NOTE: There is a 'return to another card' tickbox as well. Before you attempt to use this feature, please check that your payment gateway settings allow refunding a transaction to a different card.)
-
Check or Auth Number - Use this field for your refund's reference ID. (e.g. For a check, you would reference the check number.)
-
Refund Date - Click the calendar icon (17) to select a date. You can also simply type a date with the format MM/DD/YYYY.
-
Refund Note - Enter any relevant notes about the reason for the refund. (e.g. The payment was made by mistake.)
-
- OPTIONAL: By default, refunded orders stay as 'paid.' If you would like to make the order unpaid as well, you would need to apply a negative customer service payment using the 'Apply Payments' button.
- Once you have completed your refund, visit the 'Refunds' tab to view it in the future.
