Electronic non-referenced refund

Learn about electronic non-referenced refund.

In addition to non-referenced external refunds, Zuora supports non-referenced electronic refunds. Non-referenced electronic refunds issue a credit to a customer electronically, without referencing an existing payment in Zuora.

An example

To offer an example, a non-referenced electronic refund might take place as in the following steps:

  1. A customer prepays for a service, and that payment is applied to a credit balance.

  2. You create an invoice for the customer.

  3. The customer uses some of the credit balance and then asks for a refund of the remaining balance.

  4. You can now create a refund and transfer money to the customer.

    A user's ability to issue refunds is controlled through user permissions under your Administration settings.
