Credit Card Credit - cccredit

important

Elavon advises against using Credit Card Credit to issue refunds.

Refunds issued with cccredit can exceed the amount of the original transaction and bears an increased risk for fraud and chargebacks.

If possible, we recommend using Credit Card Return to handle your refunds. ccreturn caps the total possible refunds on each transaction at the original amount and prevents even refunds from exceeding that amount.

The cccredit transaction is used to issue a return (refund) to a cardholder’s credit card using full card number.
