We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Indicate a Bad Payment

  • Updated:

When you have a bounced or bad check, or a user reports a transaction as fraud to their bank, you should use Bad Payment Reversals. In those cases, the credit card company takes the money out of your merchant account, so this is how we put the balance back into the cardholder's account and recover those funds.

 

Important Note 

  • ACH transactions will always show as successful in Recreation Management regardless of whether the payment was received or not. Please check your gateway provider to verify if an ACH payment was received. If it was not received, follow the steps below to Indicate a bad payment in Recreation Management.

    Does this work for customers that paid via credit card as well?  I see your example is for people who paid with the payment method "user credit".

    My desk clerks are unable to access "Indicate Bad Payment".  They end up voiding it and this causes the account to still have a balance for the membership, but no longer have the pass to that membership.  I can't find how to give them permission to access "Indicate Bad Payment".
