How to process a Credit Card

If you want to cancel a credit card payment (only in Komet) you should process a Chargeback. This is done in cases of  fraudulent transactions, duplicated billing, incorrect amount billing, bank processing errors.

On the contrary, if you want to process a refund to the customers' card (in case the item was not received by your customer, for instance, you should process the transaction as a CC Refund - Full).

Info
titleImportant

In order to return the whole amount of the transaction to the customer's card, refunds should be carried out on the same date as the payment date. On the contrary, the credit card processor may apply fees for the transaction.

Full Refund. Once the refund process is successfully completed, you won't need to process the refund again in the KometPayments screen.

Tip
titleMulti location companies

At the moment you will process a full refund in a multi-location company, you should consider these key aspects to make the location eligible for this transaction:

  • The open-credit(s) has to be associated with the location where you will process the refund.
  • Credit cards need to be associated with the location where you will process the refund. 
  • KometPayments setting needs to be enabled in the location to process the refund.
