Differences Between Voids and Refunds

  • Void (Same Day): Available only before the transaction settles (usually the same day).
    • Effect: The charge is canceled entirely. The funds are never withdrawn from the client's payment method.
    • Note: Voiding is not an option if your merchant processor does not support voids or if the funds have already been settled.
  • Refund (Next Day or Later): Required once a transaction has settled (outside the voiding window).
    • Effect: The funds were withdrawn and must be sent back.
    • Note: Funds can be returned to the client's original payment method, cash, or account credit.
