Select a transaction and expand it to view additional information on the transaction and reveal the action buttons.

The various card verification responses are shown here, in addition to the acquiring bank, the card type, the authorisation code for the transaction, and the unique Blink reference.
1. If a previous transaction is linked to a current transaction (e.g. a pre-auth is captured), the Blink unique reference field will include a reference to the original transaction.
2. The Gateway merchant ID that processed the transaction.
3. The customer’s address and postcode that was entered with the transaction.
4. Successful payment will show a receipt button, this allows you to view the receipt again and print or email it.

Cancelling and refunding a payment

Processing a new transaction from a previous payment

The cancel button will only be visible for transactions with a captured state. After a transaction is accepted, the cancel button will be replaced by a refund button.

Refunds can be issued for the full or partial amount of a transaction, with the amount field updating to reflect the refund. Once issued, refunds cannot be cancelled.

Customer and card details are taken from the original transaction. You only need to specify the new amount and reference (and the dates, frequency and length for a Repeat Payment Schedule).
