Refund a Customer’s PayPal Payments

You can issue PayPal payment refunds at anytime either from within the Invoice2go app or from your PayPal account. Depending on your customer’s bank, the refund will show up anywhere between 5-10 business days after the refund is issued.

Invoice2go only supports full refunds.

If you are trying to refund a customer payment but haven’t granted Invoice2go permission to do so yet, Invoice2go will prompt you to authorize your PayPal account with Invoice2go. Once you complete the authorization, you can proceed with refunding your customer’s payment.

Helpful Tips

• If your customer paid by card, do not give them a cash refund — this is a common fraud scenario
• Refunds may appear in the form of a reversal. In the case of a reversal, the original payment will drop off of your customer's bank statement, and a separate credit is not issued
• Refunds cannot be cancelled. If you'd like to charge your customer for the amount that you have refunded, you can create a new charge for your customer
