PayConnect payments can be voided, rather than returned, if the payment was made in a certain time window.
In the Payment Window, click PayConnect.
Voiding PayConnect credit card sales or returns removes the original transaction from the patient's bank account the same day.
After processing a void, it is recommed to run the Income Transfer Manager to ensure the void is properly allocated.
