Refunds

Integrate refund (or credit) transactions to transfer funds to a consumer account

A Simple Refund is refund tied to a specific transaction and can only be made to an amount less than or equal to the original transaction amount. It can be performed up to one year following a transaction using the original transaction ID.

Integration Options

Refunds may be implemented differently than payment transactions.

Refund Payment SSO

Refunds may be integrated via Single Sign-On (SSO) for provider facing implementations. The receipt is generated by InstaMed.
