Cancellations and Refunds
Cancellation involves canceling a sale or a pre-authorization. In the case of a sale, the cancellation can only occur on the same day as the transaction date. The effect of a cancellation is that the sale transaction is not settled to the merchant, and it is not recorded in the cardholder's account statement.
If a cancellation is performed on a pre-authorization, the funds become available in the cardholder's account, and the transaction cannot be captured by the merchant. Neither the pre-authorization nor the cancellation appears in the cardholder's statement or in the merchant's settlement.
On the other hand, in the case of a refund, the merchant will see both a sale transaction and a second refund transaction in their settlement. The cardholder will also see both transactions in their statement.
Reversals
Cancellations are transaction reversals and can be processed before 23:30 on the day the sale was made.
Important
You can only cancel a transaction if the batch closure has not been completed with the sale.
The process to cancel orders is as follows:
- Click Reports in the main menu bar.
- Specify the time period: Select any of the time periods mentioned or enter a specific range of dates.
- Click Submit Inquiry.
- Select the # of the Order you want to Cancel
- Click on Cancel
- A page will appear displaying the results from the reversal/cancellation
