Refund

Refund is a financial transaction where a previously processed payment is reversed, and funds are returned to the customer. Typically initiated by a merchant, a refund can be triggered for various reasons, such as product returns, cancellations, or the resolution of disputes.

Refunds provide a mechanism for rectifying erroneous transactions, ensuring customer satisfaction, and maintaining trust in the business-consumer relationship. The process of issuing a refund involves the original payment reversal, with the refunded amount returned to the customer's payment method.

Merchants often follow established refund policies and procedures, and the timing of refunds may vary depending on the payment method and financial institutions involved. Accurate and timely refund processing is essential for customer service excellence and compliance with regulatory requirements.
