Abstract

See full text

A customer can obtain a refund for a credit card purchase by interacting with an agent of the merchant. The existing payment infrastructure is used, but without the direct participation of the merchant and without generating a chargeback against the merchant. A customer request for a refund is received and validated against multiple data streams including sales data and/or fraud screening databases. For a validated refund request, refund data is stored in a refund database and communicated over the payment processing network to create the refund from the merchant to the customer credit card.
