# How is a vendor informed of voided or refunded transactions?

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Overview</mark>

Voided and refunded transactions are handled carefully within PayCargo to ensure transparency and proper communication between all parties. Vendors are notified in advance of any **voided transactions** and receive **alerts for refund requests** in line with PayCargo’s operational policies.

Understanding how these notifications work helps Vendors manage their accounts efficiently and maintain clear financial records.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">How it works</mark>

#### Voided or Canceled Transactions

* If the **Vendor is set as Same-Day Release**, PayCargo’s Support team will **always contact the Vendor before a transaction is voided or canceled**.
* This step is required because, according to PayCargo’s policy, the **Vendor’s approval is necessary** to proceed with the void or cancellation.

#### Refund Requests

* When an  **Automated Refund request** is initiated, the Vendor receives an **alert notification** informing them that a refund has been requested for a specific transaction. The Vendor is then responsible for approving this refund via their PayCargo Dashboard.&#x20;
* If the Vendor is not signed up for the **Automated Refund System,** the PayCargo Support Team will email the Vendor a written request on behalf of the Payer advising them of the Refund Request and the reason for the request. The Vendor can then communicate directly with the Payer to initiate the refun&#x64;**.**&#x20;
* In the case of Automated Refunds, once the refund is processed, the **Vendor will be debited,** and the **Payer will be credited** automatically. In the case of Self Handled Refunds, the Vendor will work out a payment method with the Payer, whether it be ACH Deposit, sending a check to the address provided by the Payer, or Credit towards a future shipment release.&#x20;
* Please note: **No additional notification** is sent after the refund has been issued.
