Before you Begin
Before correcting a reversal error, first determine if the reversal has been deposited.
Important information on reversals to consider:
Refunds via ACH/eCheck processed through the ShulCloud Integrated Payment (SIP) Gateway can be initiated after 7 full business days from the initial transaction date. This waiting period ensures that refunds are not issued for funds that have not been fully cleared, such as payments returned due to insufficient funds (NSF).
The refunded amount reflected in the payor's credit card or bank account varies:
- Credit card refunds generally take up to 7 business days.
- ACH/eCheck refunds may take up to 14 business days.
A full 7 days must pass before the refund will go through. For example, when the payment is collected at 11 AM, you must wait until 11 AM on Day 7 to successfully refund the payment.
