Refund Policy
How refunds work for payments your customers make, for KaroPay gateway plans and for wallet top-ups — and exactly how to raise a request if something went wrong.
The short version
- Customer payments go straight to the merchant, so refunds to customers are issued by the merchant, not by KaroPay.
- Charged twice or charged by mistake? We verify and credit it back to your KaroPay wallet.
- Money debited but wallet not credited? Share the
client_txn_id/ UTR and we credit it after checking. - Timeline: acknowledged within 24 business hours, resolved within 3–5 business days.
1 Payments made by your customers
When a customer pays through a KaroPay QR or payment link, the money moves directly from their UPI app to the merchant’s own UPI / merchant account. KaroPay never receives it, so KaroPay cannot reverse or refund it.
- Customers: for a refund, cancellation or wrong / duplicate payment, contact the business you paid. Their name is shown on the payment page and in your UPI app.
- Merchants: refund your customer from your own bank or UPI app, and keep the order’s UTR for your records.
- If the money left the customer’s account but never reached the merchant, it is a UPI / bank issue: the customer should raise a complaint in their UPI app or with their bank using the UTR. Such failed transactions are usually auto-reversed by the bank.
2 Customer paid, but the order shows Failed / Expired
The payment is already in the merchant’s account — only the order status did not update in time (for example, the payment came in after the order timed out, or the merchant session had expired).
- Open Transactions Report and use Retry / Recheck on the order, or mark it paid after entering the 12-digit UTR you see in your bank / UPI app.
- The webhook is then sent to your server with the correct status.
- No refund is involved, because the customer’s money has reached you.
3 KaroPay gateway plans
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| Plan charged twice | The duplicate charge is credited back to your KaroPay wallet after verification. |
| Charged, but plan not activated | We activate the plan, or credit the amount back to your wallet if it cannot be activated. |
| Plan activated and in use | Not refundable, including unused QR / order quota or unused days. |
| Quota lost because of a KaroPay fault | The affected requests are credited back after we validate the logs. |
4 Wallet top-ups
- A top-up is credited automatically once your UPI payment is confirmed.
- If money was debited from your account but the wallet was not credited, raise a request with the
client_txn_idand UTR. After we confirm the payment was received, the amount is credited to your wallet. - If you cancelled the payment screen but still completed the payment in your UPI app, the top-up is still credited once the payment is detected.
- Wallet balance is used for KaroPay services and is not withdrawn as cash. All approved adjustments are made as wallet credits.
5 Service issues on our side
If a fault in KaroPay caused failed orders or wasted quota, share the time window and the affected order IDs. Eligible requests are credited back to your plan quota or wallet after we validate our logs.
6 How to raise a request
