Reconciling Credit Card Refunds
Hello!
We use a separate credit card processing terminal to manage payments. Typically when we issue a refund, the refunded amount comes out of our next batch deposit. For instance, if we ran $1000 worth of charges but also refunded a customer $100, our deposit the following day would be $900.
I'm finding this process is making it challenging for me to properly reconcile a customer's original payment and subsequent refund when I'm matching deposits in the business overview/bank account section. For instance, I received a credit card batch deposit on 1/03 which included the customer's original payment - I am able to match that payment without issue. On 1/05 I received another credit card batch deposit, but it is for $600 less than the charges ran the previous day because of the $600 refund. I can't match this deposit to the charges it was for because it is less than what those charges add up to.
I'm not sure if I'm explaining this clearly enough...hopefully someone can still help me though!!
