Refund FAQs

How fast is a refund processed?

Refunds get processed immediately and can’t be canceled. Once you press "refund" it cannot be undone. 

How soon will the refund be reflected in the customer's account?

Buyers see the refund as a credit 5-10 business days later, depending on their bank. 

IMPORTANT

If a payout doesn't have enough funds to cover a refund, any remaining amount will be debited from the merchant's bank account. 

Can I process more than one refund for a payment?

More than one refund can be processed against a charge. However, you can’t reimburse a total greater than the original charge amount.
