Table of Contents

Payment History

Upon activation of KoronetPayments within your company, a dedicated tab will appear within the Accounts Receivable (A/R) menu. This tab, labeled "KoronetPayments," provides comprehensive insights into payments received through the KoronetPayments platform.

The total payment amount displayed includes the processing fee, if you want to see the total amount you’ll receive in your bank, you can check the Net amount in the payment details.

If you click a specific line, you will see the details of that payment, including a timeline and the processing fee your company is charging. You can also export payment reports from this screen.

You can identify receipts from KoronetPayments in the A/R Payment History screen in the check reference column for transactions with an ID starting with the letter S.

Identify Refunds

There are two ways you can visualize refunds in Komet Sales; read below to see a description of each:

Option One: From the Payment History

A refund will be identified in the system as a negative payment. From the Payment History screen, a refund transaction will have an R next to the control #.

 

Option Two: In Reports

Reports generated from the Payment History & Editing Payments screens (Payment History and Payment Details) will easily identify refunds since the Applied amount and Payment Total values will be negative.

Case

Solution

The order related to the open credit was paid using only one KoronetPayments payment method.

The system will only permit refunds to be issued to the original payment methods used.

The system will refund the funds to the customer's payment method.

The order related to the open credit was paid using multiple KometPayment methods.

The system will allow you to refund a custom amount to multiple payment methods.

Please select the amount you wish to refund for each payment method. It's important to note that you cannot exceed the maximum original payment amount for each payment method. You have the flexibility to distribute the credit refund as you wish, but there are two conditions you must meet:

  • Each individual refund amount cannot exceed the maximum amount for each payment method.

  • The total refund amount must match the credit amount and cannot be greater or less.

The refundable credit amount for the order exceeds the total amount paid by credit card or any other KometPayment method and the order was paid using multiple forms of tender.

The system will first refund the KoronetPayments payment method and then refund exceeding funds to the other selected payment method.

The customer will need to be refunded the exceeding funds using a different payment method and the process will need to be done manually.

The payment for the order was made using multiple forms of tender. You attempted to apply for a credit card refund using an open credit, but the maximum amount for refunding credit card payments or KometPayment payment methods has already been reached.

When refunding, if the maximum amount for a credit card payment has been reached, you will need to select another payment method to refund the customer.

The customer will need to be refunded the exceeding funds using a different payment method and the process will need to be done manually.

The open credit amount to refund is greater than the amount paid with the credit cards when the order was paid with multiple KometPayment payment methods.

The system will refund the maximum amount of each card and allow for the remaining credit to be refunded using a custom payment method.

The customer will need to be refunded the exceeding funds using a different payment method and the process will need to be done manually.
