Labels are shown as they appear in the Spanish version of the console.

Before you start

  • The transaction must be Exitoso (Successful).
  • Its gateway must allow refunds from AFRUS; otherwise the Reembolsar (Refund) option doesn't appear.
  • Your user needs permission for banking operations on transactions. If the refund fails for that reason, ask an administrator to do it.

Step by step

  1. Open the row menu. In Transacciones, open the three-dot menu and choose Reembolsar.
  2. Confirm. In Reembolsar Cargo (Refund charge), click "Confirmar" (Confirm).

You will see "Reembolsado con éxito." (Refunded successfully) and the transaction changes to Reembolsado (Refunded). If it had a valid donation certificate, it is voided. If the gateway rejects it, you will see "Error al reembolsar el cargo." and nothing changes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I refund only part of it?

No. The full amount is always refunded.

How long does the money take to reach the donor?

It depends on the bank. Some return it in 3 days and others can take up to 30 business days.

How long do I have to refund?

From AFRUS, up to 24 hours after the charge. After that, write to your payment gateway provider. If you use the AFRUS payment gateway, write to soportepagos@afrus.ai and the AFRUS team will make the refund.

Does refunding cancel the subscription?

No. If you want to stop future charges, cancel the subscription directly in Suscripciones.

Can it be undone?

No. The money is returned through the gateway and there is no option to reverse it.
