    Processing a Refund or a Void for an ACH Payment


    Article summary

    If a bank transaction was processed incorrectly, you can void it as long as the payment batch hasn't been settled.  If the batch has settled, you'll need to issue a refund instead.  Note that bank payments must be voided or refunded for the full transaction amount; partial refunds are not currently supported.

    To minimize the risk of a return after refunding an ACH transaction, please review our guide on ACH payment returns.

    Processing a Void


    To process a void for a recent transaction, click the Payments icon on the left hand side, and then select ACH Bank Payment from the drop down.

    Processing a Refund


    If your batch has already been settled, you will not be able to void a transaction, but you can process a refund. Refunds are processed for the full amount of the original transaction, partial refunds are not available at this time. 

    The steps to process a refund are the same as processing a void, but instead of clicking on Void in the Transaction Actions menu, you will click on Refund.

    The transaction will now show in your list of Latest Bank Account Transactions as a REFUND.

    If you process a void, the transaction will not have any payment processing fees associated with it. If you process a refund, the original payment processing fees for the transaction will apply.
