Refund (sale has batched)

You only need to refund a sale if you’ve already batched out. If the sale just happened today and the terminal has yet to batch, scroll down to see how to VOID instead, as you’ll save yourself from paying fees on the original sale.

  • Terminal will NOT connect to host
  • If approved – Merchant receipt will print
• Select Yes to print customer receipt copy

Void (sale has NOT batched)

If you can, always try and void instead of refunding, as a void saves you from paying the fees on the initial sale. By voiding the sale, you’re preventing it from being sent to VizyPay for processing in your daily batch. Once the original sales processes, that’s when interchange fees are charged – so make sure to void whenever possible.

• Select SOFTPAY-FDMS (if option appears)
• Select VOID
• Select No to locate a specific transaction
• Select Inv# to search by Invoice # or
  • Acct# to search last 4 of card

  • Terminal will NOT connect to host
  • Merchant receipt will print
• Select  Yes to print customer receipt copy
  • No to skip customer copy

Settlement (Batching or Closing)

Most terminals are set to automatically batch every evening. But if you prefer to batch manually, be sure to do so on any day that you process. You’ll ensure the lowest possible rates by batching regularly. Please reach out to VizyPay Support if you’d like to enable automatic batching within your terminal.
