Providers can document whether an offline payment has been refunded or voided:

  • Refund: Select this option if the payment was returned to the family.

  • Void: Use this option if the payment no longer applies—for example, if a check didn't clear or the payment was logged by mistake

Only offline payments can be voided. This is recommended if you want to keep a record of the payment but no longer want it to apply to the student's balance. Once voided, the payment's status will change to "Voided".
