A correction should make it easier to move on.

An agreement changes. A customer needs something returned. These things happen in a good business too. Alunta brings credits, refunds and history together, so you can take care of the practical details and keep the relationship in good shape.

Good service matters when money needs to be returned too.

A refund should feel like a small full stop. Alunta gives you one place to start: find the invoice, credit the right amount and follow the refund. The customer gets a more connected experience, and you keep the link between the original purchase and the correction.

Start from the invoice

Find the purchase being corrected and keep the context.

Document the correction

Use a credit note to document the relevant credit.

Follow the money

From agreement to action

From a changed agreement to a proper close.

Imagine that part of a purchase needs to be credited. Start with the invoice rather than building a new spreadsheet.

  1. Find the purchase.

    Open the customer’s invoice and review the original agreement and payment. You have the context to hand when talking with the customer.

  2. Put the credit in place.

    Credit the relevant part through Alunta’s credit flow. The document and history help both the customer and bookkeeper understand the change.

  3. Follow the refund.

    When money needs to be sent back, you can follow the refund. The payment provider handles the money movement while Alunta keeps the overview together.

Useful questions

Before you choose your workflow.

Is a credit note the same as a refund?

A credit note documents a credit against the sale. A refund is the money sent back. Alunta helps keep both steps and the original invoice together.

Can I credit part of the purchase?

Yes. The credit flow can be used for the relevant part of the invoice. Start with the customer’s agreement and follow both the document and any refund.

When will the customer get their money back?

It depends on the payment method and the provider’s processing. A requested refund remains pending until it is completed. You can follow its status in the flow.
