Transaction Credits and Voids

Both a Credit and a Void are performed from the Transactions Detail page.

Credit

  • A credit is a separate transaction that returns a specified amount back to the available credit limit or account balance.

  • A credit can only be performed for Transactions that are in a 'Complete' (400) status.

  • Credits cannot be performed on prepayment nor $0 transactions.

  • The credit option is only available for a Merchant user with the appropriate permissions.

Void

  • A void is a cancellation of a transaction that prevents it from being settled.

  • A void can only be performed for Transactions that are in an 'Authorized' (100) or 'Authorized Sale' (110) status.

  • The void option is only available for a Merchant user with the appropriate permissions.

Note that this help topic is not visible to Buyer users.

Credit Invoices are completely different that processing a credit. Buyer users process credit invoices. See Processing Credit Invoices.
