B. Via the Refund Menu
Select "Refund" at the bottom of the screen.
On the next screen you can use the available filters to find the correct transaction. As another option, you can click on the "Read customer card" option to read a card via NFC and display all transactions for that specific card.
Cancel/Refund a transaction
Confirm that you have selected the correct transaction. Click on "Start Refund".

For same-day transactions, the full amount must be refunded (a ‘cancellation’). Tap on "Continue" button.Review the details of the refund and click the "Refund" button to confirm.
Once the refund is complete, a respective indication will be shown on the screen. You can either send or print the receipt.

To refund or cancel a transaction through your viva.com account, follow the steps below:
Log in to your viva.com account
Select Sales and Sales Transactions
Find the desired transaction and select Refund
Enter the amount to be refunded, the merchant reference (optional) and select OK.
The amount to be refunded needs to be lower than or equal to the original transaction. The selected amount will be credited back to the cardholder's account, and any commission taken for the payment will be reimbursed.
To complete the refund/ reversal, the viva.com account should be verified and the account's available amount should be greater than the transaction's amount. Disputed transactions cannot be refunded while the dispute is ongoing.
A refund on the Viva.com account is instant and is down to the issuer's internal rules on how long a refund takes to process. Your customer should contact their bank for the refund timescales.
