Issuing a Refund after the payment submitted date
If the payment has already been processed, it can be refunded. A refunded payment will reissue the funds back to the original payment method used. This process can take between 5-7 business days for the refund to settle back to your customer.
Note: refunded payments are still subject to transaction fees.
