Steps to refund payment using multiple credit / debit cards

The steps explaining how to refund credit / debit card payments using Elavon as the Payment Type are explained below:  

Select the transaction that needs to be refunded from the Recent Sales screen and click the Refund button to open the Refund Transaction screen.


Click the Pay button on the Refund Transaction screen to reach the Payment screen


The entire amount to be refunded is displayed in the Amount To Pay field. 



On the Payment screen, click the Elavon button, to refund the Credit/Debit card payment. 

Since the payment was made using 2 separate cards, the application prompts you to specify the card you want the refund amount to be returned to. See: Refund Involving Elavon Payment Type


On the Select Transaction pop up screen you will only be able to select one card at a time.

Select a card and then click OK to process the refund. The acknowledgement is sent to the Elavon Payment Device. 

The Elavon Payment Device will display the Refund Amount on the screen. Cashier needs to Press 1 to approve the amount and process the refund.




In case of a Refund, the customer is not required to insert, tap, or swipe the card to authorise the refund.

The Reference Number mentioned above, against the Card Number is the same as the Reference Number printed on the respective receipts. See: Sale Using Multiple Credit Cards


On the Payment Screen, click the Elavon button, to refund the credit/debit card payment. 
In our illustration, in the original sale transaction, we have made a part payment of $25 and $50 using the Elavon Payment Device. The application would take you back to the payments screen to process the remaining refund amount.


The screenshot above depicts that the amount of $50 and $25 has been returned to the card used on the Elavon Payment Device. 
In case of a Refund, the customer is not required to insert, tap, or swipe the card to approve the refund. 

Refund Transaction Receipts

In the scenario that we just mentioned, where the refund has been made using 2 different credit cards, the application will print the following receipts:

Sale refund transaction receipt (consolidated)
