The following steps can be followed to refund a payment to a customer:
*Refunds back to a Credit Card can only be processed through EZPayments, Constellation Payments (CSI Pay), or Global Payments. If you are using a different gateway to process your credit card payments, you will need to do an External refund in EZFacility and log into your merchant account's own web portal to process the refund back to the credit card. Refunds for a Direct Debit (EFT/ACH) payment must also be refunded manually.
