Partial or full refunds need to be processed directly through your payment gateway.
Depending on what the refund is for, the platform may automatically create a credit note in Optix (i.e. you cancel a past room booking for a user that had a charge, Optix will automatically credit the user).
In the case that you need to manually issue a refund (i.e. you charged them for the wrong type of plan, they're no longer renting a parking space and you hadn't yet removed the charge from their monthly-recurring invoice, etc.) you can do that within your payment gateway account. We do, however, recommend you also create a credit note in Optix as a record for this for both you and your user, or manually record the refund on your user's invoice.
