A Partial Approval Purchase transaction can be refunded.
IMPORTANT: This Refund transaction must be processed for the amount of each partial approval within the overall Purchase transaction. For example, if the overall transaction total was $57.75, and two pre-paid credit cards were used for $25 each, then you would need to perform three Refunds; two for $25 each and a third for the remaining $7.75. See the Partial Approval Transaction Scenarios topic for more information.
If Moneris Loyalty points were awarded during the Partial Approval Purchase transaction that you are refunding:
when prompted to UPDATE POINTS TO ANOTHER CARD, always select NO.

YES NO
Select NO for now. Once all refunds are complete (for the pre-paid credit cards and other tenders used) you can process a manual Loyalty refund.
Note: You can only refund a loyalty transaction once. A Partial Approval Purchase transaction uses more than one card, so it is better to wait until the end of the refund before attempting to refund the loyalty points earned to ensure that the full amount of points are refunded (instead of a partial amount for the first card used).
11. Repeat steps 1 - 10 for each pre-paid credit card used in the transaction (if more than one had been used originally). Follow these steps to refund the cardholder's regular debit or credit card.
Note: Moneris Solutions Corporation cannot guarantee when the pre-paid card balance will be updated to reflect the refunded amount. The time frame for the balance update is variable for each card issuer. Please be aware (and inform the cardholder) that the card balance might not be immediately updated.
