Credit (Refund)
A credit, often referred to as a refund, is the return of funds to a consumer's payment card after they have returned goods to the merchant or canceled a service. This process reverses the original payment made by the cardholder, effectively ensuring that the consumer is not financially liable for the returned merchandise or unwanted service.
