Voiding a transaction is different than refunding a transaction.
A voided transaction describes a credit card transaction that has been deleted before settlement (before the close of the daily batch). The transaction amount has only been authorized to the cardholder’s account, therefore the cardholder would see that no funds were removed and cardholder’s balance will clear the authorization amount within 48-72 hours.
This is much faster than issuing a refund, which may take 48-72 hours or more for funds to be reversed back to the cardholder’s account. A void cannot be completed once a batch has settled.
