Policy

PayCargo's 2026 policy distinguishes between Cancellations (before processing) and Refunds (after processing). PayCargo acts as a facilitator, but final approval for most requests rests with the Vendor.

Payment cancellation — Pre-processing

Cancellations can only occur while a transaction is in "Processing" status and before the 6 PM EST daily cutoff.

• Approval required: Payers cannot unilaterally stop a payment; they must contact the Vendor to request a cancellation.

• Time sensitive: Requests should be submitted before 5 PM EST on the processing date. PayCargo may decline cancellations made in the final hour before the 6 PM cutoff to avoid ACH bank errors.

• Eligibility: Typically allowed for clerical errors, incorrect branch selection, or switching payment methods.

Refund policy — Post-processing

Once a transaction is marked as “Cleared,” you may submit a formal refund request through the PayCargo Portal or by contacting the Support team.

• Processing fee: Approved refunds are subject to a fee ranging from $7.50 to $10.00 USD.

• Non-refundable fees: Annual user fees, credit card processing fees, and original transaction fees are non-refundable.*

• Vendor approval: Refund timelines and processing are determined by the vendor and may vary based on their internal procedures. If two weeks have passed since your request, the PayCargo Support team can assist by contacting the vendor for a status update. We also encourage payers to follow up directly with the vendor.

• Automated refund: Many vendors participate in PayCargo’s automated refund process. To request a refund, sign in to your account, locate the transaction, and select Request Refund at the bottom right of the screen.

• Minimum Amount: Refund requests must be for $10.00 USD or more.
