After successful payment, the top-up is completed and a confirmation email is sent. When ordering on invoice, the credit is available after payment has been made.

The topped-up voucher code is displayed on the receipt. For security reasons, the entire voucher code is not visible.

What happens when topping up?

Voucher management

When you top up, the credit of the existing voucher is increased, but not the initial balance:

Topped-up vouchers are marked with a + in the Voucher management area:

Voucher information

Topped-up vouchers cannot be deleted. If a topped-up voucher is to be deleted, all top-ups must first be cancelled.

All top-ups are listed under Top-ups:

The Voucher protocol shows at what time and by which user the voucher was topped up.

Top-up management

When you top up, e-guma creates a new order. This order is not visible in the regular Voucher management area. In Voucher management, the voucher remains under the original order number so that there are no duplicate entries of the same voucher. The new the top-up order is listed in a separate order overview. This can be opened via Vouchers -> Charge -> Manage :

Further information about an order is displayed on the Detail page.

Top up on invoice

Vouchers can also be topped up online on invoice. In this case, the credit is only available once the payment has been successfully processed. e-guma uses the same procedure for this as for the sale of vouchers ( QR invoice / IBAN invoice). When using the QR invoice, the loaded credit is automatically activated after the payment has been successfully processed.

Sales report

In the sales report, you will see the top-up entry as a new order:

Cancel

You may cancel and refund top-ups on the details page in the manage charges section.

Select the top-up to be cancelled by setting the corresponding number to one.

In addition, the type of the refund can be chosen.

Same payment method as used for the order

The same payment method is used as for the top-up. If the top-up was made online and was paid directly, an immediate refund will be made to the payment method used.

Manual refund

There will be no refund from e-guma. Make the refund yourself.

In order for the cancellation to be carried out, add a meaningful reason for the cancellation and click on the Cancel button.

The cancellation is now listed on the top-up detail page and the positions are updated:

In addition, the sales report and the details page of the voucher will also show that a top-up has been cancelled.

If the credit balance of a voucher is less than the amount of the recharge to be cancelled, the recharge cannot be cancelled. If the recharge is to be cancelled anyway, the redemption of the voucher must first be reversed or cancelled.

Commissions

When topping up a voucher, the same commissions are charged as when selling a voucher. The vouchers be shown with the topped-up amounts on the

Commission invoice.Topped-up vouchers are marked with "Charge" so that they can be easily distinguished in the Commission report.

The top-ups are shown separately on the Commission invoice.
