Manage your transactions

In your PostFinance account menu, you can easily lookup your transactions by choosing "Operations" and then clicking either "View transactions" or "Financial history", depending on the type of transaction results you're looking for.

Go to Consult your transactions for more information.

This depends on the payment method and the process behind it.

Generally speaking, if the transaction status is "9 - Payment requested", no action is required anymore, and you will usually receive the money with the next payout of the acquirer. If the status is "5 - Authorised" (which can be the case for credit card transactions), it means the transaction is authorised but you still need to confirm it to receive a payment.

A list of possible statuses and their meaning is available in Transaction statuses.

You can easily refund a payment with the "Refund" button in the order overview of a transaction (via View transactions). If your account supports it, you can also make refunds with a DirectLink request or with a Batch file upload (for multiple transactions).

Please note that the Refunds option has to be enabled in your account.

Go to Maintain your transactions for more information.

You can only perform refunds on transactions for which the funds have already been transferred to your bank account. A cancellation or deletion can be done before a payment has been fully processed, i.e. before the daily cut-off time at the acquirer, at which point all transactions of the previous day are processed.

Status 7 (Payment deleted) means you cancelled/deleted the payment before it was processed, whereas a status 8 (Refund) only applies after the payment is processed.

Go to Transaction statuses for more information.

You can find all the transaction data and history in the transaction overview, via View transactions and Financial history in your PostFinance account.
