Next, pick the transaction that you want to void or refund and click on it to open the transaction details.
Now, click on the three dots near the top of your screen to open the Actions menu and select either Reverse or Void. If your batch has not been settled yet, you will be able to void the transaction. If the batch has settled then you will see the option to refund the transaction.
For a refund, you can choose whether to complete a partial refund or a full refund by typing in the dollar amount in theRefund Amount field and clicking Refund. For a void, you will need to reverse the full amount of the transaction.
You can only refund debit transactions made in person, if the cardholder is present. You will need to use the Helcim Card Reader to process these refunds. Selecting refund from the transaction action menu will prompt the Card Reader. The cardholder will then need to enter their card.
