How can I refund a readyPay payment to the customers 's card?
If you use readyPay, you can choose between two options when canceling invoices:
- Automatic refund: The amount is refunded directly to the customer's card upon invoice cancellation. Please note that partial invoice cancellation is not possible with this type of refund.
- Manual refund: You cancel the amount manually in hobex PartnerNet and then cancel the invoice in the ready2order system using the payment method "card payment".
Option 1: Automatic refund
You can easily refund readyPay payments to your customer's card by canceling the invoice you created using the readyPay payment method.
To enable this functionality, proceed as follows:
