The main purpose of the Netbanx back office is to allow you to view your transactions, run reports, process refunds (credits), and view your settlement account details.
When you first login you will see the Accounts section. This will show you the status of your application and other details. Take note to be aware that one account is created for credit card transactions and one for direct debit transactions.
Reports are the primary reason you will login to the Back Office. From here you can lookup specific transactions, run reports for a time period, lookup chargeback history, and schedule automated reports to be emailed to you.
This is where you can lookup specific transactions or transactions over a date range. You will need to swap the payment method from Credit Card to Direct Debit when looking up transactions from one or the other. When looking up a specific transaction, you can simply copy the transaction id from the payment within ServiceMonster and paste it in the lookup search bar.
Once you've pulled up the report, you can sort through the request types and expand them to view more info. Once you have expanded the view, you can click on any of the transaction ids to pull up more details.
When viewing a transaction record, you can see the details of the transaction as well as the settlement and/or refund (credit) status. You can also issue a refund (credit) against the transaction by clicking the little green plus in the settlement details. This will open a pop-up window that will have you verify the amount being refunded and ask for the merchant transaction id as a safety precaution. You can view this on the transaction details and simply copy/paste that info in. Once a refund has been requested, you have the option to cancel the credit, by clicking the little red "x" in the credits section. This request can only be made while the credit is in the "pending" status.
You can setup automated reports to be run when you wish by clicking Reports -> Schedule Reports.
From here you can view reports already created or click "Add" to create a new one. From here, select which report you wish to run, give it a name, set a frequency of when the report should be sent and a time period that the report should cover, select a few other options and then click the "Add" button next to email destinations to select where the reports should be sent. You can also set the format to be csv, excel, or html. Most users will want to use csv for simplicity. Hit Save to save your results.
When you want to start running the report, ensure the "enabled" option is checked on. If at any point you wish to disable a report, simply enter the report and uncheck the "enabled" option.
To view the balance of your settlement account, simply click "Account Statement." From here you can your current balance information or update the date range to generate an on demand statement. You can also view past monthly statements by clcking "monthly statement."
If you need further help in the Back Office, you can reach out to our support team, view the Netbanx help documentation, or reach out to the Netbanx team directly for assistance. Click the help link to open up basic help documentation options or click "contact us" to create an email ticket. If the question involves a specific transaction, then you will want to copy that transaction id into the help ticket for faster response.
