Void or refund transactions in QuickBooks Payments

by Intuit•32• Updated 9 months ago

Per Payment Card Industry (PCI) regulations, a refund processed through credit card must have an original offsetting sale prior to being issued. QuickBooks Payments allows you to process the refund within six months from the date of the sale. After this period, you can provide a refund using cash or check. Credits (refunds, reversals) to a customer's card performed after the batch closes will incur the same processing fees as the original transaction, however, void or canceled transactions (those that occur before the batch closes) will not incur the same processing fees as the original transaction.

The easiest way to search for a transaction is by date, amount, and last 4 digits of the customer's credit card number.
