Refund Management
Everything you need to know about issuing a refund for your customers.
You can issue full refunds in your partner dashboard. Below, we’ve outlined the steps to initiate a full and partial refund, and key details on how refunds are processed.
Please note that all refunds take 3 - 5 business days to process. Credit card fees for refunded transactions are the responsibility of the partner, and will be added to the refund amount. You can reach out to customersuccess@alternativepayments.io with any questions.

Partial Refund Process

After the partial refund is initiated, Alternative Payments will refund the original payment method used by the customer to make the initial payment. These partial refunds typically take 3–5 business days for the refund to clear, depending on the end-customer's issuing bank.
Note: credit card fees for refunds are incurred by the partner, and will be added to the refund amount if applicable.
