Azotel SIMPLer can communicate with a variety of payment gateways to process credit cards/bank accounts, each of these payment gateways has a different level of integration. Coming soon to SIMPLer is a feature that will allow operators using certain payment gateways to push refunds from SIMPLer to the gateway. (Previously the process was to refund money through the gateway and then log the refund in SIMPLer). Availability: 2013 -Quarter 4: The feature will be available for IP Pay (Tokenized module) 2014 -Quarter 1: The feature is available for customers using First Data as a payment gateway. 2014 -Quarter 1 (from February 10th): The feature will be available for IP Pay (non-tokenized module) 2015 - Quarter 2: This feature will be available for Moneris (Vault only) Other payment gateways on request. Feature Outline: There are three ways of using the feature: 1) Custom Refund. By defining a refund product in SIMPLer, operators can choose to refund a custom amount through SIMPLer and push this refund directly via IP Pay. 2) Refund button for negative invoices. Some operators may already have some negative invoices generated in SIMPLer. If they need to physically refund this money, a refund link has been created to make the process easier. 3) Prorated Refund for paid invoices. A refund button has been created beside paid invoices. If not the entire amount is to be refunded, dates can be manipulated to only partially refund the invoice in question. (Note: only applied to single paid invoices) Feature Use: 1) Custom Refund Option Step One: Create a product in SIMPLer that you will use for refunds.
