Kushki will ask the processor to start the reimbursement process, which can have two results:
- Cancellation (void): it applies when the request for money reimbursement for payment reversion is carried out on the same day of the transaction before the limit hours, which varies by country. Cancellation occurs at the same time.
- Reimbursement (refund): when the transaction reversal application is made after a limited schedule. The process can take up to 45 days to be reflected as a credit note in the client's account.
These are the limit schedules planned by country to make voids:
Know the status of a reimbursement
Kushki makes three cancellation attempts at the processor when you start a money reimbursement process for payment reversion on the same day of the transaction and prior to the limit time provided by the country.
- While the return reimbursement is accepted, your status will be In process.
- When the processor accepts the application, the transaction will be canceled (Void), with an Accepted state and the purchase will not appear in your customer's statement.
- If the transaction was not approved, the return is included in a manual reimbursement process (refund), which can take up to 45 calendar days to be reflected as a credit note by the banking entity in your client's account .
- When it concludes, the transaction will change at Return type and appear with an Approved state.
