Record a Refund in QCMM

QCMM’s refund action records compensation against an existing billing record and protects against over-refunding. It is a local accounting/history workflow; selecting PayPal Refund does not itself perform a remote PayPal refund API call.

Choose Amount and Method

Select the billing record, enter a refund amount greater than zero, choose PayPal Refund, Manual Refund, or Site Credit, and add the refund note. QCMM calculates the remaining refundable amount before accepting the entry.

Refund Limits

Cash-style refunds are limited to cash actually received and not already compensated. A Site Credit refund can restore the appropriate credit/cash value according to QCMM’s refund-balance rules. QCMM blocks a refund that exceeds the remaining refundable amount.

What QCMM Stores

The billing record receives cumulative refund amount/method/note/time and a refund Payment Event is added. The billing status becomes partially refunded or fully refunded/refunded to credit as appropriate.

Site Credit Refunds

When the refund method is Site Credit, QCMM creates account credit for the user as part of the local transaction. For PayPal Refund or Manual Refund, make sure the actual external refund has been handled through the appropriate external process; this QCMM action records the result rather than initiating PayPal’s refund API.
