Refunds & Chargebacks

 
     

In some cases you may need to issue a refund to one of your clients or account for a chargeback that your client completed. While refunds allow you to actually deposit money back into your clients' account, chargebacks simply log that your client coordinated a return of funds with your merchant account provider behind the Appraiser XSite credit card processing system. What this difference means to you is that the process of issuing refunds is exactly the same process as charging a card (except in reverse). Chargebacks have no processes to complete after you log them as they are simply an update to your XSite accounting logs.
