See where the payment was applied

This payment uses a split bar to show where the money is now:

Amount Meaning
On orders Money currently applied to the orders paid at checkout.
Issued as credit Money from this payment issued as customer credit.
Refunded Money refunded to the customer through the payment provider.
Chargeback Money taken back through a provider dispute.

Only the relevant amounts appear. After the $60 partial refund in this example, $300 remains on the order and $60 is shown as refunded. The On orders amount in This payment matches the total currently applied in On orders now.

On orders now shows each linked sales order and the amount currently applied to it. When an order’s amount has changed, the row can show the amount planned at checkout and deductions such as a refund or credit issued.

History lists dated payment events.

  1. Click the order number to open the sales order.

    The SO0002 link in On orders now

On this order, Invoice 2 is Partial, Amount Paid is $300.00, and Balance Due is $60.00. The order shows the invoice subtotal and total. Scroll down to Payments to see the payment on this order. The $60.00 refund reduced Amount Paid from $360.00 to $300.00 and left $60.00 due again in Balance Due.

The linked sales order header after the partial refund

The full Customer payment page groups money by sales order under On orders now, while the sales order and the customer’s receipt show the invoice. The customer’s receipt lists the invoices under each order, as shown in What Your Customers See on a Receipt.

Return to the Customer payment tab after checking the sales order. Read each label beside the order or event it describes.

What your customer sees

When your customer follows an order link, they sign in with the email address your shop has on file and a code sent to that email. The order opens after sign-in.

On Payment Successful, your customer can click View payment receipt to open their receipt. The reference on the customer’s receipt matches YoPrint reference in Details. What Your Customers See on a Receipt explains its fields and matching reference.

For an earlier payment, your customer can expand the payment in the order’s Payments section in the customer portal and follow Find a receipt later. They open the order from Orders or Activity, then click View payment receipt in the expanded payment.

On the payment, click Issue credit... or Refund... to start a credit return or provider refund. To return money to credit or refund it, see How Refunds Work in YoPrint. To handle a dispute, see Handle a Disputed Payment.
