# Refunds

## Overview

The **Refunds module** allows businesses to view, issue, and manage refunds based on consumers, currencies, payment processors, and other parameters. Refunds can be **partial or total**, and each refund transaction receives a unique identifier for full traceability.

Refund requests are always routed through the Paytiko system and can be issued in two ways:

1. By entering a transaction, pressing the **Refund button**, selecting the amount, and confirming the request.
2. Through an API integration, where a refund can also be processed via an existing Pay-Out request (status: _requested_).

## Key Features

* Segmented view for refund management
* Color-coded refund processing statuses
* Unique refund ID numbers
* Personalized dashboard layout
* Easier reporting and filtering options
* Support for **partial and total refunds**
* Refunds linked directly to the original Pay-In transaction
* Availability via dashboard actions or API requests

## How It Works

1. Access the desired transaction in the dashboard.
2. Click **Refund** and choose the required amount (full or partial).
3. Confirm the request — a unique refund ID is generated.
4. Refund is assigned a **colored processing status** for easy tracking.
5. Refunds can be filtered and exported by column headers, providing flexibility for operations and reporting.
