QrX helps merchants understand payment-side status, but settlement and refund timing can also depend on the payment provider connected to the merchant account.

The merchant decides whether a customer receives a refund for goods, cancellation, return, warranty, or service reasons. QrX can help process or track payment-side refund status where the payment provider and merchant setup support it.

For payments through Stripe, Mollie or MultiSafePay this sends the real refund to the payment provider, and the status changes to Refunded. If the provider refuses the refund, the action fails with an error and the transaction stays Paid. Payments cannot be refunded by partner organizations, and a return in the Returns panel does not refund a live door payment by itself.

The consumer's payment confirmation page shows "Refunded" once the refund is registered. How fast the money is back on the consumer's account depends on the payment provider and bank.

Settlement timing depends on the payment provider, payment method, merchant agreement, risk checks, bank holidays, and currency. Check your payment provider dashboard for final payout timing.

Use QrX transaction ids, merchant references, payment provider references, amounts, currencies, and timestamps to reconcile payments. Keep channel identifiers consistent so reporting stays clean across brands and accounts.

Escalate to QrX support when PortalX and the payment provider show conflicting statuses, a refund failed, a payout is missing, a duplicate charge is reported, or a transaction cannot be matched to an order.
