DCC Refund

These instructions have been simplified to emphasize the DCC prompts. If you have enabled optional settings, refer to the additional references at the end of this page.

Note: Process refunds using the same currency as the original purchase transaction. Refer to the cardholder copy of the receipt or your own copy.

Note: The Refund amount will be less than the original purchase amount for two reasons: the fee paid by the cardholder for the DCC service is not refunded, and the currency conversion rate may fluctuate.

Note: To refund a partially approved purchase, use the TOTAL PAID amount on the Partial Approval receipt.
