Refund Processing
Adyen does not support real-time processing of refunds. When you process a refund with Adyen, the refund will be
created in a Pending
status.
Some time later, Adyen will notify ChargeOver that the refund was completed successfully, or that it was declined, and the refund status in ChargeOver will then be updated. Typically, the status update happens between 5 and 60 minutes from the time the refund was requested.
Migrating to Adyen
If you are migrating from another payment processor to Adyen, please contact us for assistance.
Adyen has special requirements when migrating credit cards that have been previously processed using a different payment gateway, and payments may fail if assistance is not requested.
