Credit
Last Updated:What's in this article?
Credit money back to a payment method.
A credit can be to one of 3 different types of sources:
- Credit Card: This requires passing fields with credit card data.
- Credit Card Magstripe: This requires passing magstripe data from a swiped credit card.
- Check
- Source: This includes crediting based on a previous transaction, a stored payment method, or a token.
This feature must be enabled by the ISO/MSP. It requires the Refund permission on the source key for CC transactions, and Check Refund for checks.
