Refunding a Payment

You can only make refunds for successful payments (transaction type: payments, status: success). Further, you cannot refund offline payments through Zoho Subscriptions.

Here’s how you can refund a payment.

• Go to the Customers tab and select the customer for whom refund has to be made.
  
• Click the Transactions section and filter by Payments.
  
• Select the appropriate transaction and click the Refund button.
  
• Enter the amount to be refund and a short note about the refund if you want. Click Save.
  

Note: In Nonprofit Vertical Subscriptions, when a refund is processed, the system will automatically create a credit note for that customer and will issue the refund via this credit note.

Incase of offline refunds, you have to first raise a credit note for that customer and refund the credit note.

Deleting a Payment

To delete a payment,

• Go to the Customers tab and select the customer for whom the payment has to be deleted.
  
• Click the Transactions section and click the transaction that you want to delete.
  
• In the following screen, click on Delete to delete the payment.
  

Deleting a Refund

To delete a refund,

• Go to the Customers tab and select the customer for whom the refund has to be deleted.
  
• Click the Transactions section and click the refund transaction that you want to delete.
  
• In the following screen, click on Delete to delete the payment.
  
• Then, go back to the transaction tab and delete the open credit note that was raised to issue the refund in the first place. You can also choose not to delete the credit note and leave it as credit for the customer.
  

Note: In Nonpofit Vertical Subscriptions, when a refund is processed, the system will automatically create a credit note for that customer and will issue the refund via this credit note. Hence, when you delete a refund, the credit note associated with that refund will become open and you have to delete that as well.
