Refunding Directly within Merchant Track

IMPORTANT: You should only refund directly within Merchant Track in very rare circumstances where you are unable to refund within Commerce7. 

Why? If you process a refund directly in Merchant Track, it will not be reflected in the Order within Commerce7. This can result in inaccuracies in your reporting.

  1. In the Merchant Track portal, use the Transaction Search to find the transaction that cannot be refunded within Commerce7. Filter for the charge and click the Search button.

  4. Finally, it is advisable to refund to 'External Payment' on the Order in Commerce7. This action records the refund in Commerce7 so that it's reflected in the Order and Reporting. Learn how here.

Refunding a Corporate Gift Order (in its entirety) directly within Merchant Track

Let's say you have a Corporate Gift Order that includes 100 individual Orders. After processing it, you discover that there are errors in the pricing or vintage, necessitating a refund and starting over. To refund the Corporate Gift Order within Commerce7, you would need to refund each Order individually. The other option is to refund directly within Merchant Track. In doing so, you can refund the entire amount at once. This is great for your Customer since they will only see the one refund (instead of 100 separate refunds).

  1. Use the Transaction Search to find the Gift Order transaction.

  2. Fill in the required Refund fields and click the Refund Transaction button.

Once you refund the entire amount with in Merchant Track you will then need to go into each individual Order in Commerce7 - and refund to 'External'. Yes, this is manual - but it will keep bookkeeping and reporting clean.
