3. Process the Void

  • Click "Void": On the transaction details page, locate and click the "Void" button.
  • Confirm the Void: A prompt will appear to confirm the Void. Confirm to initiate the void process.

4. Check Void Status

After confirming, a new transaction will be generated and visible in the linked transactions. You can view the status of the void by selecting that transaction.

Additional Notes

  • Voids vs. Refunds: A void prevents funds from being taken from the customer’s account, while a refund reverses a completed transaction and can result in fees.
  • Timing is Critical: Once a transaction is captured or settled, you won’t be able to void it. In that case, you’ll need to issue a refund instead.
  • Customer Communication: Clear communication with customers can prevent confusion and improve their experience, especially if they see a pending charge after the void.
