Visa Rapid Dispute Resolution (RDR) involves refunding a consumer prior to chargeback. The refund occurs outside of CheckoutChamp.
This article explains how to refund the transaction in CheckoutChamp. The article assumes you (or a third party) are aware the RDR has been issued.
The refund will not be sent to the gateway if these instructions are followed. This is the desired result. Most gateways will accept the refund even though RDR has already given a refund. It is imperative that users be properly trained on RDR procedures to prevent this.
