Refunds
Liferay’s new Payments application supports the creation of refunds for online payments. Once processed, the refund goes back to the original payment method. There are two main steps involved in refunding money. The first step is to create a refund on the required payment. The second step is to submit the refund after verifying all the necessary details.
Creating and Submitting a Refund
Open the Global Menu (
) and navigate to Commerce → Payments.Find a payment in Completed status and click Make a Refund.
This creates a new entry of type Refund in the Pending status. It opens the newly created refund for submission. You can also go back to the Payments page and click View next to the refund to submit it.
Enter the refund amount in the Amount field and select a reason from the Reason drop-down. See Adding Reasons for Refunds to learn more about creating refund reasons.
Click Submit. Alternatively, you can click Save to come back to it at a later stage.
After submitting the refund, the refund entry moves to the Refunded status. If it fails, it goes to the Failed status. See Payments Reference to learn more about the payments and refunds life cycle and the different statuses available.
