Q1 When does the money get settled to my bank account?
For Visa and Mastercard the money is settled overnight Monday to Friday as a single deposit. On weekends and holidays, this is normally settled the next business day. As a general rule, deposit cut-off time is 10.30pm every night, and will contain the previous 24 hours worth of transactions. You should be able to confirm this with your bank. If you accept Diners and American Express, they have different settlement plans and you will need to contact them to find out which one you are on.

Q3 How do I process a refund?
When logged into your Merchant Admin you find the transaction in question and press the refund button.
To find the transaction, go to Transactions > Shopping Transaction Selection > Enter appropriate search details (Make sure you ask it to only show successful transactions) > Find the transaction > Click on its "Shopping Transaction Number".
If the transaction was successful you will be presented with a refund amount and refund button - adjust the amount you wish to refund, and click refund.
