Cancel or refund a payment

If you want to return the funds to the shopper, for example if they returned an item or if an item is out of stock, you need to cancel or refund the payment:

• If the payment status is Authorised, you need to cancel the payment.
• If the payment status is SentForSettle or Settled, you need to refund the payment.

To cancel or refund a payment, you need to have the Merchant manage payments user role.

To cancel or refund a payment:

1. Log in to Essentials.
2. Go to Payments.
