Processing credit card payment refunds

It is important to remember that Zeald websites are NOT linked to the payment side of any ecommerce website.  All transactions are handled by the payment gateway you are using, and the bank it is linked to.  

You can either process a refund on your payment gateway's console or dashboard, or you can contact their support team for instructions on how to process a refund.
