Adjustments Report

The Adjustment reports contains all Returned (ACH), Reversed (ACH), Charged-back (Debit/Credit), and Refunded payments that are tied to debits from your bank account. Your Finance and Accounting teams can use this report to understand which batches of payment reversals the debits from your bank account are associated with. Canceled payments are not included in this report because they were never settled and thus there are no remitted funds to be pulled back. They are however included in the Returned Payments report because those payments would have been posted and that transaction needs to be undone.

Each record contains:

  • Transaction Details: The unique PayNearMe Payment Identifier, along with the precise date and time of the original transaction. The Unique PayNearMe Payment Identifier is the value you should use to tie a transaction in this report to the original payment along with the amount associated with the returned transaction.
  • Return Details: Specifies the type of payment being returned (ach, debit) and the specific return category (Chargeback, Refunded, ACH Return)
