Unreferenced Refunds after Online Refund Decline

This feature allows merchants to perform an Unreferenced Refund for an Online Refund that may have been Declined by their Acquirer. Once the support team has enabled this feature for a merchant's terminal, the merchant will be able to perform an Unreferenced Refund whenever an Online Refund Declines, whether it be from the Virtual Terminal Refund Page, the Open Batch, or the Closed Batch refunds.

Prerequisites

1. * The merchant's acquirer must support Online Refunds.
2. * The merchant's acquirer must support Unreferenced Refunds.
3. * The merchant's terminal must support Unreferenced Refund after Online Refund Decline.
4. * The Selfcare User must have permission to perform Refunds.

Limitations

1. * The merchant cannot refund more than the original declined refund amount.
2. * The unreferenced refund must NOT exceed the terminal's Refund Amount Limit.
3. * The Debit/Credit Card used for the Declined Refund CANNOT be used for the Unreferenced Refund.

Once all of the above Prerequisites are met, the ability to perform Unreferenced Refunds will be within the merchants reach. To get started, and to learn how to use this feature, the rest of this document contains a visual guide on how to proceed with performing the Unreferenced Refunds.
