FAQ’s

• Why did I receive a credit rather than a refund to my account?

Refund credits are faster and easier to reconcile. The credits within your account will be used before any other payment method to pay future invoices. It’s the best and easiest method for both parties.

• Merchant: Can I issue discounts to my customers?
