How can I refund a payment?

Refunding with Tebi payments

If a customer has paid via card with Tebi Payments, you can refund their payment directly to the card that they used to pay. The customer does not need to be present or tap their card on the payment terminal to accept the refund. You can only refund up to and including the amount that was paid.

Possible reasons you can’t make a refund in Adyen Essentials

Is the refund button unavailable, or you can’t make a refund? This can happen for one of the following reasons:

  • Your user role doesn’t have refund rights. Reach out to your admin user. They can assign you the Merchant manage payments role, which lets you make refunds.
  • The payment method doesn’t support refunds. See an overview of the payment methods.
  • A refund isn’t yet possible. A payment must be captured and in SentForSettle or Settled status before a refund is possible. Read more on payment statuses.
  • The bank account details aren’t valid. This can happen with some online banking methods like Sofort. Check the IBAN versus the issuerCountry for mismatches.
  • You reached the refund limit for this payment method.
  • If your transaction received the RefundFailed status, read why your refund failed.
