Return (09)

Used to generate a refund on a cardholder’s account. A return does not void a previous purchase. It is a separate transaction that eventually appears on the cardholder’s statement.

important

Evaluate the API field 1003 return response to determine if a transaction was approved, declined, or otherwise unsuccessful. Declined and Unsuccessful transactions will not be settled or funded.

note

Online return support is not provided by all TPPs and not all card brands. Returns for unsupported brands will not be sent online for approval, and the transaction will be placed into the batch for settlement if successful (API 1003 = 0000).

  • Manually keyed and token return transactions must include a valid expiration date in API field 0004.

  • A credit card return transaction must include the appropriate industry-specific extended data.

The following is an example of a manual-keyed account number return transaction.
