2Checkout.com strives to provide vendors with detailed stat tracking to assist in monitoring the financial history of their accounts.

A key aspect of this information is active tracking of refund and bank dispute amounts and percentages. These percentages play a key role in 2Checkout account evaluations, as well as determining the level of the rolling reserve that is applied to accounts.

2Checkout maintains the following criteria for acceptable refund and bank dispute percentages:

• Refund amounts should not exceed our acceptable limit of 10%.
• Bank Assisted dispute levels should not exceed our acceptable limit of 1%.

Percentages above these levels may lead to reserve increases, and can be detrimental to the overall profitability of your company.

Refunds and Bank Assisted Disputes that are deemed fraud related are weighted differently than those issued for service related issues, yet these stats should be monitored as well.

2Checkout encourages all vendors stay current on their account statistics and are proactive in using these tools to ensure the overall health and good standing of their accounts.

To issue a partial or full refund on a recurring sale, you will need to login to your account at https://www.2checkout.com/va/. From here you can click on the “Sales” tab near the top of your account homepage and then select the “List” sub-tab. You can then click on either the sale number you wish to cancel/refund under the sale list or use the “Sale Search” form to search for an order.

To refund the entire sale, click on “Refund Sale” on the top left of the sales details page. To issue a refund for an individual installment, you will need to click on the “Refund” link listed under the refund column for the invoice. There will be an invoice entry for every installment. When issuing a refund you will be required to select a reason for the refund, enter a comment and click on submit refund. To cancel the recurring billing click on the “Stop This Recurring” link listed by the product name.

Please note: The refund option may not be displayed on a sale based on the following criteria:

• Your username does not have authorization to issue refunds (basic editing access).
• The sale is over 60 days old.
• The invoice has no balance left to refund.
• For a line item refund, the line item has already been refunded.
• For a line item refund, the line item amount is more than the
  remaining balance on the invoice (this can happen on an invoice with one
  line item and a coupon or on an invoice with a partial refund).
• It’s an online check order that has not been deposited.

2CO suppliers, in coordination with our Customer Care team, can attempt to limit refunds as per your stated product return or cancellation policy.

This policy should be easy to understand and clearly posted on your site. It should also be sent to 2CO via a ticket system request for notation on your 2CO account.

It is possible, however, for a customer to obtain a bank-initiated refund (chargeback) for six months after the date of the order. In some instances, this period can be extended to up to one year. It primarily depends upon the nature of the complaint and the card-issuing bank involved.

As a general rule of thumb, it is often in the best interest of both yourself and 2CO to issue a refund whenever it is apparent that no other action is going to satisfy the customer. The rules that govern transactions are written to favor the consumer in almost every instance.
