To process a refund for an IPay credit card payment captured through FormBuilder, please follow the steps listed below.

Processing a credit card refund is a two-step process.  

1.  First merchant card services needs to be contacted with payment information in order for them to redirect the money back to the card holder.  If Merchant Card Services is not contacted, the money will not be directed back to the cardholder.  

2.  Once the money has been refunded by IPay, the transaction should be marked as refunded in FormBuilder to accurately depict the payment history of the transaction.

These steps are illustrated in more detail below.

1. Contact Merchant Card Services (merchantcardhelp@uillinois.edu) and provide them the IPay transaction ID and token, and amount to be refunded. They will take care of redirecting the money back to the cardholder.  The image below shows an example of an email that needs to be sent to Merchant Card Services.
