A payment can be refunded fully or partially. To do this, click the <span class="u-richtext-element">Refund</span> button in the payment details. The amount will be returned to the customer’s card within 7 business days and deducted from your next payout.
If the payment was made with an Israeli card and the refund was issued on the same day, the charge will not actually be debited from the customer’s account, and the transaction record will soon disappear from their statement.
Commission
The customer receives the full refunded amount. The processing commission charged to the business for the payment is not refunded.
A refund commission is also charged according to the pricing.
Refund receipt
If you have enabled integration with Morning or EasyCount, the original receipt will be automatically canceled, and a refund receipt will be generated:
- For Esek Patur: a Kabala (receipt) with a minus sign will be created.
- For Esek Murshe and companies:
- a Heshbonit Zikuy (credit tax invoice), and
- a Kabala (receipt) with a minus sign will be created.
These documents will be automatically sent to the customer’s email.
Refund errors
Insufficient funds available for refund
Refunds are made using the funds from other payments that are ready for payout. You must receive new payments and wait until they are processed and become available for payout.
Payments must be in the same currency as the refund. For example, it is not possible to issue a refund in shekels using payments received in euros.
Refunds for installment payments
If the customer paid for the order in installments and you issued a refund, it is important to note that the installments will continue to be charged from the customer’s card. In this case, each month the customer will have two transactions: the next installment charge and a partial refund back to the card.
This means that in the customer’s bank statement, they will see two transactions: one negative and one positive.
If the refund is not for the full payment amount, but only for part of it, the refund amount will be split according to the number of installment payments.
For example, the customer paid 4,000 ILS in 4 installments. After two charges, you decided to refund the customer 2,000 ILS. In this case, the refund will be split into 4 parts of 500 ILS each. The customer will receive a refund of 500 ILS per month for 4 months.
Chargeback
A chargeback is a refund initiated not by the business but by the customer through their credit institution when they believe that the charge was unauthorized.
It is a separate procedure and, unlike a standard refund, may have negative consequences for the business.
