EBizCharge: Customer-Facing Functionalities

When a customer reaches the Payment section of the checkout page, they can process with EBizCharge by clicking the CONTINUE button after filling out the required shipping information.

The page will redirect the customer to the EBizCharge secure payment form.

The page will redirect the customer to the EBizCharge payment form.

The customer’s name and billing address information saved to the customer profile or entered by the guest customer in the checkout page will automatically be populated in the payment form.

The payment form will have two tabs: New Card or Saved Card. In New Card, users can enter new credit card information.

In Saved Card, users can select a saved card from the Payment Method dropdown menu.

Note

Guest users will only see the information present under the New Card tab.

After providing the Card Number, Card Expiration, Security Code, and any other required information marked by asterisks, customers must click Pay Now.

After clicking Pay Now on the payment form, the page will return customers to the BigCommerce site. The page will display a payment confirmation and order summary.

Additionally,  the email address saved to the customer profile or entered in the checkout page will receive an order confirmation email. BigCommerce provides information on how to customize the appearance of emails.

EBizCharge: Merchant-Facing Functionalities

This section details the various order statuses depending on how EBizCharge is configured, and how to issue a void/refund in BigCommerce using EBizCharge.

View the Order Status

Order statuses are defined and managed by BigCommerce workflows.

Most order statuses are applied as a result of store user or customer action, but some must be manually changed. Order statuses can help you decide what actions need to be taken for a particular order, such as whether the order need to be packaged or shipped.

When a customer completes the checkout process, an order’s Status will be updated based on the EBizCharge Configuration Settings:

  • If the Sale Method configuration is set to Authorize and Capture, the Status will refelect Awaiting Fulfillment. This indicates the customer has completed the checkout process and payment has been confirmed
  • If the Sale Method configuration is set to Authorize, the Status will reflect Awaiting Payment. This indicates the customer has completed the checkout process, but payment has yet to be confirmed

If a payment has been processed, the Refund option will be available in the Action ellipsis menu.

Note

Refer to the Installation Guide for more information on EBizCharge configurations.

Void/Refund an Order

Merchants may fully or partially void or refund an order in BigCommerce using EBizCharge by selecting the Refund option from the ellipsis menu in the Action column of the table of orders.

Whether a void or refund is processed depends on the state of the batch in the EBizCharge gateway: if it is still open, clicking Refund will void the order, and if it is closed clicking Refund will instead refund it.

The Refund option will only be available in the ellipsis menu in 2 cases:

  • If the user has selected Authorize and Capture in the settings, once the order has been placed, the status will change to Awaiting Fullfilment and the Refund option will be made available.
  • If the user has selected Authorize in the settings and has enabled Capture on Shipping, once the user places an order the status will change to Shipped and the Refund option will be made available.

In the Refund order page, scroll down to Refundable items and select one of the void/refund options: Refund individual items, Refund entire order,  and Apply an order level refund.

Important

EBizCharge processes voids/refunds on the backend and does not require any additional action from the merchant after confirming the void/refund in BigCommerce.

Each type of void/refund is covered in more detail below.

Void/Refund Individual Items

After selecting Refund individual items, expand the Units to refund dropdown menu and select a number to void/refund. Repeat this as needed for any other items in the order and then click Continue. The merchant will be redirected to the Confirm refund page.

EBizCharge will then process the full void/refund on the backend, and merchants will be redirected to the View orders page with the details of the voided/refunded order displayed. A banner will confirm whether that order void/refund was submitted successfully, and the Status will update the Partially Refunded.

Void/Refund Entire Order

After selecting Refund entire order, click Continue to proceed to the Confirm refund page.

On the Confirm refund page, scroll down to Refund method and select Refund customer through third party provider. Then click Confirm Refund.
