This blog is dedicated to a product I have developed called MassRefunds. The current functionality of this browser based tool is to support Mass Refunds for PayPal.
Paypal allows buyers and sellers to pay and receive payments for transactions over the Internet, especially those made on Ebay.com. When it comes to refunding buyers, the sellers have to go to PayPal.com and issue a refund. For sellers that receive a lot of payments from their customers using PayPal, ability to issue multiple / mass refunds is very important.
With this in mind, I have built this tool.
Here are the features of this tool
- Ability to issue multiple full refunds. For full refunds, you need only to specify transaction Id. A separate memo can be sent with each refund.
- Ability to issue multiple partial refunds. For partial refunds, refund amount and currency is also to be specified along with transaction id. Separate memo can be sent with each refund.
- UI supports sending a mix of full and partial refunds at the same time.
- Quick full refunds and quick partial refunds are supported where the same memo message is sent to all customers. The memo message defaults from a user specified value in an external property file.
- A refund preview is displayed and then the user can issue multiple refunds or cancel.
- Results of each refund is displayed with status and error message if any. The fee refund, net refund and gross refund amounts for successful refund are displayed. The results are displayed in a table. Transaction details of the original transaction and the refund transaction can be obtained by clicking on a hyperlink.
- The application takes about 2 seconds per refund and can process many refunds in a single submit.
- Refunds are processed by PayPal and the original form of payment used is refunded.
- PayPal issues partial refunds of the fees for partial refunds. If a full refund is issued, the entire fee that was charged is refunded.
- Ability to search for transactions using Date range, email address or transaction id.
- Support for multiple currencies (USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, JPY, CAD)
- Both API signature and API certificate authentication mechanisms supported
