Easy - Managing payments

Before you start

You need an Easy Portal account. See Create account for details on setting up a free test account.

Overview

Whenever your customer buys something on your site, a new payment is created in Checkout. Payments can be managed directly in Checkout Portal or programmatically through the Checkout APIs.

You need to take action on new payments:

When you ship the order, make sure to charge the payment in order to receive the funds from Nets.

If the order is canceled by the customer, make sure to cancel the payment in order to release the reservation on the customer's payment card.

Charge payments

Charge a payment on the same day as you ship the corresponding order.

A card payment needs to be charged within 30 days, or else the payment will be canceled automatically. It will then require a new order from your customer if you want to charge after the 30 days.

A payment can be fully charged (default) or partially charged.

Full charge

To fully charge a single payment, select the order in the payment overview and choose Charge from the QUICK ACTIONS drop-down menu. To charge multiple payments at once, select the payments and click Charge.

The charge action will charge the full amount of the order. It's also possible to charge parts of an order by editing the order before charging.

Edit order before charging

Orders can be partially charged. Below are three common scenarios with examples.

Scenario 1: Charge for a specific product

To charge for one or several products, you check the select boxes. The total sum of the refund will be calculated based on the selected order lines. Verify the amount and choose Charge.

Example: A customer orders one red and one yellow T-shirt. The red T-shirt is in stock, but the yellow is backordered. You ship the red T-shirt now and charge for it, while the yellow can be charged when it arrives (within 30 days).

Scenario 2: Change quantity before charging

You can edit the quantity on an order line by entering a new value in the quantity field. The total will be updated according to your changes. Verify the amount and click Charge.

Example: You have received an order for 100 red T-shirts. You only have 80 in stock and the customer wants you to send what you have as soon as possible. To do this you type "80" in the quantity field. The system will update the total automatically and you can choose Charge to complete the order. You can charge for the remaining 20 T-shirts later (as long as it is within 30 days).

Scenario 3: Change the amount before charging

You can change the amount on an order line by entering a new value in the price field. The total will be updated according to your changes. Verify the amount and choose Charge.

Example: Your customer wants to cancel, but you have persuaded them to continue with the purchase at a 20 SEK discount. Lower the amount to the agreed price in the input field. The system will calculate the total according to your changes.

When lowering the price, a new order line will be created containing the remaining part of the reserved amount. Also, note that it is not possible to charge an amount that exceeds the original order. The system will inform you when you exceed the limit.

Reset if you lose track of changes

All of the changes above can also be made in combination. If you make changes and get lost, you always have the option to reset the changes to get back to the starting point when you opened the modal window.

View payment details

The payment details page allows you to inspect the details about the charges and refunds associated with the selected payment. It is also possible to perform actions directly from the payment details page.

To view the details for a payment, click the order row or choose View details from the QUICK ACTIONS drop-down menu from the payment overview page.

The payment details page contains three tabs:

The Order details tab shows the name of the customer and the payment status of the order lines. This shows you who placed the order and what specific status the order lines have.

The Transaction details tab shows information that can be useful when in contact with our support team.

The History tab shows all events related to a specific payment, including which user performed a particular action.

Cancel payments

Release reserved amounts on card payments

If a customer cancels an order before the goods are shipped, you can cancel the payment. By canceling a payment, the reserved money will be released to the customer's payment card and Nets will not charge a fee for the payment.

To cancel one payment, simply select the payment in the payment overview and choose Cancel from the QUICK ACTIONS drop-down menu. To cancel several payments at once, select the ones you want and choose Cancel.

Note that it is not possible to change the status of a payment once it has been canceled.

Refunds

Refund the total or parts of a payment.

Full refund

To refund the total amount, you simply choose Refund from the QUICK ACTIONS drop-down menu.

Important!

If the payment has been partially charged and you want to refund the full payment, you need to make one refund per charge. The complete list of all charges related to the same original payment can be found by viewing the payment details. To find all charges that are related to the same original payment you choose View details on any line related to the order in the payments lists.

Edit and refund

All charged payments, including single or multiple order lines, may be partially refunded. To partially refund a payment, choose Edit and refund from the QUICK ACTIONS drop-down menu, select the desired order lines and/or edit the fields before choosing REFUND. You can use several actions depending on your needs. We have listed three examples below.

What if there are not enough funds for a refund?

If there are not enough funds in your account when you have initiated a refund, the transaction will appear as “refunding” until the balance equals or exceeds the amount you want to refund plus the transaction fee. A refund can be completed in two ways:

1. Charge new payments

2. Make a deposit

If you don’t have any payments to charge, you can make a deposit to your account through a regular bank transfer.

The deposit does not need to match the exact amount of the refund and transaction fee. The excess amount will be booked as a deposit and included in your next payout.

The deposited funds will be visible on the payout page of your Easy account a couple of days after the bank transfer.

You can find more information on how to make a deposit, including account details and reference number, in the account section and on the payout page in case the balance is negative.

It normally takes a few days before the funds are transferred to your customer's account depending on the card issuer's (normally your customer's bank) routines.Your balance needs to be larger than the amount you want to refund including transaction fees. Make a deposit or charge new payments if your balance is too low.
