Change mode of payment / Double Charge
Terminal Model: Sunmi PAX PAX Lite
The customer paid already using QR/Card but decided to pay via cash/installments with other card issuers, cash, or installment using another Acquirer or ACQ. What is the refund process for this?
Card Transactions
- If a physical card was used for the transaction, call the Maya Business Support hotline , to manually refund the money.
- Fill out the refund form providing the details of the transaction. Have the authorized merchant representative to endorse the refund form via email to [email protected]
QR PH Transactions
For QR Ph transactions, the merchant may process the refund request in the Maya Business Manager . If the merchant’s refund button is not enabled in Maya Business Manager, they can have it manually processed through the same process of Card Transactions above.
Keep in mind
- If the refund was processed manually through the Maya Merchant Hotline, the status of the transaction will not appear as “refunded” in the Maya Business Manager.
- Avoid duplication of processing refunds by choosing one channel to request for a refund – either via Maya Business Manager or via email sending an accomplished Refund Template.
- Refunds will be processed within five (5) business days, upon submission of a completely filled out Refund form, filed or endorsed by merchant’s authorized representative.
- You will receive an email confirmation from Maya Business Support that the refund has been successfully processed
Incorrect amount
Terminal Model: Sunmi PAX PAX Lite
The cashier has processed an incorrect amount and the customer already paid for it.
Two Types of Errors:
- Overpayment
The customer paid more than the correct amount and will need to be refunded with the variance amount.
Please follow the refund request process (see refund process of [Change of Mode of Payment]())
- Underpayment
The customer has not paid the total amount of the transaction and will require the customer to pay the variance amount.
This is discouraged to force post transactions since this will expose both the merchant and Maya to chargeback risks. It is recommended that if the merchant has contact with the cardholder, they can refund the transaction with the wrong amount, and then ask the cardholder to redo the transaction with the correct amount.
Always check the receipt if it has the correct amount and the status APPROVED before you release the purchased item/s.

If the amount was deducted from the cardholder’s account despite the transaction being declined, advise the cardholder to report and call their bank for the return of their money reversal (the turnaround time depends on the bank.)
This error often happens with debit cards. Issuing banks The earmark the transaction on the cardholder’s account to ensure that there will be enough balance in the account in case the transaction pushes through.
