Tip
titleMulti location companies

At the moment you will process a partial 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. 
  • Clearent setting needs to be enabled in the location to process the refund.


Unable to Refund a Credit Card Payment

Issue Explanation

The payment was done using two different credit cards (two different transactions) and both credit cards are not associated/saved to the account.

Clearent recognizes this payment as two different transactions. You need to add a credit card to your Clearent account through the Add New button or on the Customer setup screen (SettingsSetupCustomer) or Request a credit card to process the refund.
